seroquel

difficult child and I went for a "medication management" review with the beloved psychiatrist, and were told that basically nothing more than what's being prescribed will help him. Presently difficult child takes Risperal .5mg x 2/day. We were originally told that .5mg x 2 would be a starting dose, and we'd most likely go up a...

Okay, today was the first day we were able to go visit difficult child at the inpatient facility she was placed at earlier this week. I do not think the visit went well at all. She was nice and all, not mean or angry or in a bad mood, but my confidence level in the facility itself kinda plummetted and...

OK... long night. K has been horrible for months, if you have been keeping track.:dissapointed: Her delusions have gotten so much worse in the past few months. I am trying to keep separate the new addition of Depakote and her "normal" behaviors!!! But, husband left for a week on Monday... she had...

so i have a question in regards to my difficult child who i can't figure out. how can it be that on some nights she is able to sleep without a problem when given the chlonidine and other nights she can't. it's almost as if it wasn't even given to her. those to me are the nights she is manic, when she...

I feel like I'm living with a ticking time bomb. Things have been pretty good lately. A few angry outburst but quick to calm and not violent towards me or anyone else UNTIL.... this weekend. We went to Lowe's to run a quick errand, difficult child sees a cooler of large water botttles and wants one. I...

and she is suppose to be coming home in a week??? Kanga called us during phone hours and talked to husband. I was at work but she told him to have me call when I got home. So I did. Why I bother I have no idea. Kanga: Mom, I'm ready to come home. Me: You know things will be different when you...

OK so I haven't really posted about K too much because well, she isn't doing well... same old story... she is up to 100mg Topamax, and still at 200mg Lamictal. Yeah I know I don't think these are the medications for here or the right combo. I would like to revisit Trileptal maybe with Abilify and the...

Update... difficult child was released (per my request) from inpatient facility on a 5-day pass. They are all done adjusting medications for now and they were just keeping him there so they could transition him to day program. If things go well on the visit, he will be discharged. It looks like the day...

We are happy to have him home and hopeful that he is stable. We have had several extended, off-grounds visits this past week so we have been able to get a pretty good gauge of his mood. He is pleasant and mellow, infact a little too mellow at times (trying not to fall asleep in the...

I've spent WAY too much time THINKING. So...follow me on my thought process here and then tell me I'm NUTZ and to shut my brain up and do the work I'm supposed to do and trust the Dr's to figure my son out, OK? So...since M was admitted, his pulse was fast and his blood pressure was...

hi, so i've thought alot past few days on how to handle stuff with this whole "thorazine" drug that was prescribed difficult child. I did my best, worked it through, read the clinical trials, went to the fda site to view the incedences of the drug. At end of day I am not giving it to her. I contacted her...

hi i'm so confused about one particular behavior my difficult child who will be 9 next week wetting the bed. now i know i have her evaluation coming up next week and all, which is great. yet this bed wetting thing has me looped for years. we dont' have a nice big house with washer/dryer we have 3...

husband took all 3 difficult children to new pyschiatrist today. I swear that these people are just low paid drug pushers. He prescribed chlonidine for each difficult child for sleep. Then he prescribed concerta for oldest difficult child, Foclin XR 20 mg AGAIN for middle difficult child and Vyvanse for youngest difficult child. We are filling them tonight...

difficult child has a history of insomnia (insists there is no problem now) and of waking up on school mornings feeling sick. She's missed a huge amount of school in the last few years and was off for a whole month before Christmas vacation for various ailments. She has failed the entire first semester of...

I have a 6 year old in kindergarten who just just not listen to me at all and is physically agressive in school and at home and grabs from other children and teases them. Ofcourse she has no friends or playdates and I have no friendships with the classmates parents and am lonely, depressed...

A little backstory....Little Bear started having a relapse of his aggressive/violent behavior about 6 days ago which was a shock. We tried to raise his Seroquel then lowered it back down which was the only medication change we made. He was put on Celexa which really helped the aggression and we had one...

Yay! I know what was bugging me. Now, try and follow my logic (sometimes I confuse myself - I swear, running in cricles does that to me!). difficult child 1 goes into psychiatric hospital for medication assessment two Thurs. ago. They add tenex, increase trileptal and start lowering risperdal. They call me the following...

Little Bear was put on a new medication yesterday by his Dr. because he had a major rage at school Mon. that lasted for 30min and included hitting, kicking, biting, bad language. He had to be restrained of course and was suspended for 2 days. I talked to his Dr. and she believes he is definitly...

Hi All- difficult child 2 has been on zoloft since July--At one point he was on 50 mg but he was bouncing off the walls-totally hyper--falling out of his seat etc.....I spoke with the doctor and he said to reduce it to 25 mg....he had a terrible reaction to this decrease and had a major rage.... The...
