We had the second opinion appointment with a different psychiatrist today. She suggested 2 options. Currently difficult child 2 is on Concerta, Intuniv, Celexa 10 mg. and Risperdal .25 mg. She suggests we first try to baby step the Celexa up because the biggest issue currently for difficult child 2 is the anxiety. However, I've...

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm at my end. I have two beautiful girls, one is 6 with ADHD(mild), ODD(very mild) and PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress), my 8yr. old has ADHD(Severe), ODD(Severe) and Mood Disorder(Severe). Last year my 8yr old was hospitalized after she punched a boy...

Several months ago, after trying my 10 y.o. daughter (difficult child 1) on Prozac, it was a disaster. Her meltdowns, which were bad, got out of control at home and school. Took her off the Prozac and they didn't stop. Now after having her heavily medicated on Risperdal, Concerta and now Zoloft, she's...

My difficult child 2 had a terrible reaction to Zoloft and it caused something to snap in him. He has always had ODD, but it just got WAY worse since we tried that medication. This horrible reaction caused the psychiatrist to Rx Risperdal, which I detest, but which has helped my difficult child 1 a lot. My problem is, I...

Hi all! I've been behind the scenes for a long time. I'm posting today because I am just at a loss as to what to do. My Twin B (boy, age 9) is just not improving. If anything, things are getting worse. The sadness, eloping, rages, crying ALL the time, screaming about how nobody loves him...

Hello everyone. This is my first post. I have been reading all of you posts and advice to eachother for over a year. I have been inspired by all of you and have cried for you, your kids and myself and my kids while reading. Not sure why today is the day I decided to jump in...but it is. Last...

Hello - I am a newby and have been so grateful for this site!! I will update with my story later but I am in a bit of a crisis right now that I could really use your help with.

I'm having such a hard time lately. Our older difficult child (19) has flunked out of college and has an entitled, narcissistic attitude through the roof, and our younger difficult child (12) is on the autism spectrum and presenting some extremely challenging behaviors. This post is about the younger one (Bubby)...

You would think that I would be used to a life like this by now after having been born to a difficult child mother (no contact with her for the past 16 yrs) and giving birth to a difficult child son 8 1/2 years ago. But no. I am not used to it since peace and tranquility happen to be the life style I personally...

My son's physc wants to put him on Adderall as he feels he has signs of ADHD. Dad is againist it and thinks it is just a legalized form of speed. I have heard there are side effects. I am trying to do as much research as possible before making my decision next week. Son is almost 5. He...
