prozac

hey all. Rough night. Need to vent. DS13 went completely 'manic'. After the visit to psychiatric 3 weeks ago, they had blamed that episode on the Prozac. Fine. It was the Prozac. However, a couple days ago, he started with the insomnia again. Absolutely would NOT sleep. Eating EVERYTHING in sight...I...

Hello, This is my first time posting on this forum. I was wondering if anybody has input about our situation. In Sept. 2006, our difficult child, who was 13 at the time, had a temporal lobectomy to remove the seizure focus. The surgery appears to have been successful. Before then, he was already...

We finally met with-the psychiatrist today and told him about difficult child's tight chest and breathing problems, and how they hit him several times a day. Both therapist and psychiatrist think it's panic attacks, so psychiatrist suggested Prozac. I nixed that because of difficult child's prior problems. We are discontinuing the Imiprimine. And the...

Have any of your kids had ANY problems with Buspirone? Our psychiatrist prescribed it for anxiety in difficult child 1 and he's having screaming outbursts at school, threatening to kill people, himself and others. He was EMS'd to the local psychiatric ER on Thurs. was perfectly fine, released, threats are probably...

She's been doing it for soo many mos. now i've forgotten. Our day's...

Me: Does that mean you don't think it's anxiety or that you can't deal with having panic attacks all the time? difficult child: I can't deal with having panic attacks all the time. Me: So does that mean you want to try medications? difficult child: Yes. I can't do this all the time. Me: Are you sure? I really want you...

Is anyone's difficult child on something for anxiety???? Probably should have asked earlier as I'm leaving for psychiatrist in 30 minutes and he really needs to do something to get Tigger's anxiety under control.

Just talked to the Dean of Students at difficult child 1's school. They're getting worried. He's always been a big talker when it comes to frustration. "I'm going to kill (insert professional here). Yesterday, during a meltdown, he blew up saying he was going to kill the bus driver if he didn't get to...

Just a little update - difficult child was diagnosis'd Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-Aspergers today. This new dr is actually good friends with difficult child's original psychiatrist who says he's 99.9% sure difficult child is Bipolar. I haven't been feeling the bipolar diagnosis for a long time, I have more and more felt he was on the spectrum. When he first started...

I was just getting them ready to go to the store and when I asked difficult child 1 to get dressed... she got a wierd look on her face and came over to me and said "I just want to die and go to heaven Mom" "I want to die, I don't want to be here anymore." I asked her what she was feeling in her head and she...

Well, my difficult child had his psychiatry appointment. yesterday. He and I both feel that maybe since NONE of the medications he's tried for ADHD have been well tolerated (Concerta, Adderral, Straterra, the patch, and Straterra again, in that order), that maybe we're treating the wrong thing. So, we're now looking at...

I have a nearly 7 y/o son with ODD, ADHD, and who knows what else...just wanted to add to the archived thread you may have a ...if: You feel better when he takes his medications! I'm sure I'll post a summary soon...first grade starts tomorrow. No surprise- he said he's not going. We retty much...

On how to keep myself from being a nervous wreck every morning wondering of difficult child is going to get up and get ready on time. I get so stressed that I bug the koi out of her wondering if she is going to be on time. Not fun for either of us. I want to trust her, just having such a hard time. ANy...

Who here has had success with-putting their kid on an anti-anxiety medication? As you may or may not have read in another post of mine, I started my son (difficult child 2) on Zoloft, and he got worse than he ever was with-his meltdowns, rage, etc... the medication is definitely out of his system, but the meltdowns and...

Hello everyone, I am Tracy. I have one biological child 7y girl. Another step child 12y girl. Married to their dad. (2 dogs - Pit bull and a pomeranian). I will try to condense the story so not to bore everyone. I met Scott (husband) 8 yrs ago. difficult child was 4 at that time. We never really...

My difficult child (8 yr M, ADHD/ODD) has never had to have blood drawn. Our new psychiatrist ordered a blood panel. Does anyone have any advice for making this as easy as possible? I am pretty sure my difficult child will freak out, say he's not doing it, refuse, etc. I can just envision him hitting someone or knocking...

difficult child is down to 1/2 tab of clonazapam 3 times per day (.25 mg each time). He has started to feel the fears he felt last Summer. He says he just feels afraid for no reason and his head is starting to feel funny again. :( We have a medication doctor appointment tommorrow afternoon. I am so glad we started...

difficult child is trying Prozac/fluoxetine. The psychiatrist insisted that it was chemically dissimilar enough from Zoloft that he wouldn't get the awful reactions he got last time. She instructed us to dissolve a 20 mg tablet into about 8 oz. of cranberry juice, and have him sip some every day, to get the...

I generally don't talk about the medications I try because there are always tons of bad experiences out there and I want to keep an open mind about our trial. So we are trying zoloft to see if it won't take the edge off of the anxiety and ocdness. It's been about 4 weeks now. I have decided today...
