IF YOU WANT DETAILS, START HERE. IF YOU WANT TO GET TO THE QUESTION, SKIP DOWN TO THE BOLD. (I can be wordy) My 9 yo difficult child has been doing very well on Abilify after switch from Risperdone 2 months ago. She was invited to a sleepover at a friend's home nearby. difficult child's dad was home, and I was out...

Well, I posted a few weeks back that my easy child/difficult child 2 had turned from doing fair to becoming a complete nightmare after adding Zoloft into his medication mix. The only choice was to of course discontinue the Zoloft & start him on Risperdal, which has helped some, but not completely (maybe 50%...

Summer is killing me already. My sig says it all (I just updated it). I pretty much had a sobbing breakdown today. I have the kids from 7 am (6 am on Thursdays and Fridays), M-F, and Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening. So yeah, with my husband and myself most of the time. The...

Hi - this is my 1st time posting. We've recently (3days ago) started our 6year old DS on clonidine. My son has been diagnosis with anxiety. He is competitive beyond belief and is becoming extremely disruptive with team sports, camps and continues to be difficult at home. He has rage outburst...

Hi, I've been off the site for a little over a week now. partly because I just could not get it to respond, it just wouldn't load properly ( anyone else experience this?). Secondly, We have had a crazy difficult time, which included my daughter and I fleeing house last Wed. heading to office of...

I just found this place and I oh so need a place to vent. Some place other then on the cell phone to my poor working hubby while my difficult child beams with pride over the chaos he's caused. I'm just lost on what to do. We don't have health insurance and even when we did difficult child wouldn't take the medications. So I...

I feel totally defeated by my 13 year old son. He has always been difficult to deal with mentally, but when he was younger I could handle it. The last 2 years have been exhausting. Every day is a battle to get him up and to school. He has been suspended numerous times for disrespecting...

i need to add something to my difficult child's medications to help him at school. he is very combative with the teacher and refuses to do work, he's also very disruptive, loud and gets distracted. he is already on risperidone, 1mg @ bedtime. i was thinking of asking to just try adding 5mg to the morning if the...

We are having such trougble with my daughter not behaving and she is impossible to deal with. Abilify has not worked at all. In fact it made her start being violent with classmates and I finally got it out of her system and the violence stopped. She is just totally moodly, irritable and...

I have been reading the forum here and there just lurking. I have finally decided to join. I have a 5 year old Son. because of my insurance the doctors would not see him to diagnose him until he was 5. Well he finally started the process in June. In July he was diagnosed with generalized anxiety...

I'd like to know any experiences you all may have had or can offer on the following: Invega- how long did it take to see any results? What were you using it for? Were are currently using it for mood stabilization and are not quite a month into it and I figure it's going to take time to get to a...

I have this beautiful child whom both my husband and I adore, he has been in and out of Dr's offices here in Alaska. Needless to say we just don't have the help that the lower 48 has to offer. He was diagnosed with ADHD several years ago, started on Ritalin...total nightmare after 2 weeks. He...

I haven't been on here for a while, but reading through your posts reminds me how much everyone is going through. You people give me courage. Thank you for supporting one another and the advice given! It's hard to know what to say. My son was finally fully evaluated by the school but we are...

Boy oh boy has it been a LONG time since I have had to post anything here... B2 is just spiraling out of control these days. He is starting to show signs of regression again as far as being physically agressive towards me and B1. We have been having some issues over the past month or so, but...

Two weeks ago we took Carson off of Respiridone for his major weight gain (30+# in a year). We also took him off Intuniv because he was still SO sleepy in class after being on it for months. We did this over Spring Break. The first day back at school he was in trouble. The second day...

Hello, My wife and I are new members. We have a 16 year old son who was originally diagnosed as ADHD about 12 years ago. He's been somewhat controllable until he hit around 15, now he's out of control. His mouth toward us would shock a drunken sailor, he's been in trouble with the law, doesn't...

My daughter (age 6) was prescribed Daytrana (a nightmare), then tenex (no effect) then Risperidone (current medication) for her undiagnosed behavior issues. Temper tantrums, rages, non-compliance, general nastiness, hyperactive whatever you want to call it. The Risperidone seemed to work after...

Hey everyone! I don't know if you remember me cause I haven't been on in awhile, but I need some advice ASAP! For those who don't remember, my difficult child 2 is 4 1/2 and has been diagnosis with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, DBD, and possible Aspergers. But they don't know for sure about Aspergers. They are afraid to label him. He...

I haven't been posting on the board lately. Partly laziness. Partly disqustwith myself and my inability to parent/take care of effectively Carson and his symptoms. He is now taking Intuniv 2mg, Respiridone 1.5mg, Citalopram 10mg and Strattera 60 mg. He recently started the Strattera in the last...

Hi. I'm new here. I have two daughters. My 11 year old has ODD and serious anxiety problems. She's extrememly abusive. She spent the entire evening screaming at me and telling me she wished I was dead, etc, because I wouldn't take her to a pawn shop to sell her DS (It's a toy). The way she...
