prozac

difficult child has finally seen the need to go back on her AD (lexapro 10 mg) all by herself with no world war III. Big relief. So, I go to refill the prescription and now the insurance is wanting prior approval from the doctor and may make her try something else. This just really annoys me because she...

I haven't been here for a while as 15 yr old difficult child was actually doing well for a while. Well hush my mouth and call me stupid! The last few months have been agony!!!! She is now diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and possibly Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). She is afraid to socialize to the point that she just doesn't...

well this is my 1st time here, i dont know where else to turn, my 15 yr old has such anxiety over school, been to doctors and counselors, no medicine seems to help. today he blew a great opportunity for something he has worked really hard for because he had such a panic attack this morning and...

I know this is a lot to read.. but please do! Background: My daughter was the easiest of all my children. She didn't require much. We started noticing difference and she started exibiting some strange behaviors. She was getting up at night and taking things to her bed to tear apart. When she was...

The medication merry go round. The Zyprexa made her angry all the time, instead of just half the time. Very aggressive, irritable, raging, irrational and all the other adjectives. doctor tried 2.5 mg of Prozac. Makes her hyper out of her mind. Today, her troop leader pulled me aside and told me that...

We have pretty much run out of AD's to try - unless we want to try the tryciclics (sp). Nothing has helped much (Zoloft, Welbutrin, Celexa, Lexapro, etc), and Prozac made difficult child intensely depressed complete with suicidal ideation and, at one point, a note and a plan. We are currently doing a medication...

difficult child 2 has been taking Lexapro for almost 2 months, now. We started her at 2.5mg because she has had side effects to all the SSRI's in the past. We thought maybe some of the side effects were due to her chronic illness coming out and not the SSRI's so we are trying again. She took 2.5 mg for a...

:faint: We didn't get home until after 10. For the last 2 hours at least (I wasn't in for the first hour), therapist was trying to convince difficult child that she does, in fact, have depression and that she needs medication. A lot of anger and crying by difficult child. Then she seemed to be listening. Whether she's...

Hi, difficult child has been wild, absolutely wild, and defiant since Thanksgiving, after four months of positive steps. He's had a growth spurt and we decided on Thursday (along with the psychologist and pediatrician) to increase his imipramine, which in the past has helped a lot with his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), leading to a...

Well, my psychologist wants me to see the phychiatrist for anit-depressant medications. I can't do SSRI's. Tried them, they made me suicidal. SO - does anyone know if there are any Non-SSRI medications out there? What they are and what side-affects they have? I want to be well-aware before I go see the...

This is going to sound really weird, but I have learned to share odd things here..lol. Do any of your kids go through like phases of only eating 1 food? Bradon does have a feeding disorder, meaning he basically starved himself from year 1-3, and we fed with a tube until 5.5. But, here we go...

For those familiar with bipolar, could a 10-11 yo be triggered into major depression (1st time), then go into a manic state for 2-3mos., then be stable for 8-9 mos., then go into major depression for 1-2 mos., then manic state for 1 mo., then appear to be cycling back and forth every 2 weeks...

easy child was taking different SSRI's over the summer to try to get her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) under control. She took Zoloft for a few weeks until she lost weight from it. Then she took fluvoxamine for probably 6 weeks until she was hyper and impulsive. Then she tried Paxil for 5 days and was starting to get hyper...

difficult child 3 saw a sleep disorder doctor. Here is my question he has never really slept like other kids. I know that part of this is due to seizures. BTY they never found any of medical conditions such as sleep apnea or ect. She said it might but neuromuscular??? He spends most of his sleep in stages 1...

I was just curious to know is there any of you who had to go on medications to help you cope with your difficult child? My sons psychiatrist has put me on SSRI to try and help me be less stressed, anxious, kind of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).....in general to help me have more patience and not loose it easily!!!! Ok....I was first on...

My son is 11. He was recently diagonised with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified and Conduct Disorder. He is also a heart patient. He was born with multiple heart defects and has had corrective surgery 4 times. The last surgery was when he was 5 and was a heart valve replacement. We started to notice huge...

We have decided to wean difficult child off 90%of his medications, give him a break then re introduce a new medication after we see what his symptoms are. He started Depakote for BiPolar with Seroquel, he only takes the Seroquel "as needed" it makes him very sleepy. Then they added Effexor for depression and anxiety...

HAs anyone here had success with adding an anti-depressant to a mood stabilizer (the issue is cycling- not seizures)? Is it very common? TIA

I know the psychiatrist or Pharmacy is our best bet, but I think this site seems to be pretty good. I have a book that I look through and then double check with this site. It is pretty cool because you can punch in your vitamins and medications etc... When I was starting my Lamictal I was on Topamax as well...
