trazadone

Spent almost an hour on the phone with the inpatient psychiatrist Dr. C. She is great and I am so relieved we got her. She's keeping him for at least a couple days, maybe a week. Dr. C said he was "all over the place" there and they had to give him both Klonopin and Trazadone to get him to sleep last...

I am a single mother Who just recently returned from a year in afganistan. My 2 kids just moved back with me about a month ago. My 6 year old has had behavior problems going on almost 4 years. The last week he has been acting up at school and daycare, bad enough I had to pick him up. When we...

difficult child keeps getting athlete's foot and conjunctivitis. Another mom of a difficult child told me she's pretty sure she read that some psychiatric medications can have these as a side effect. depakote, trileptal, risperdal, trazadone

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...

The stupid sleep disorder doctor is only a pediatrician pumenlogist(sp). She has no idea why he doesn't sleep, or why he wakes up so many times. I am going crazy, cause I am barely sleeping ie only a couple hours a night. His seizures has decreased, or at least I haven't noticed them. Anyways all this doctor...

We have a 10 year old who we have been told has ADHD, ADD, ODD, and Bi-polar. I realize there is a lot of helpful information here, but I think truly what I want to do is throw my story out there, more so to rant and just get it off my chest. We are yet to try any dietary changes, we do keep...

I was curious to know if any of you began taken medications because of the stress/depression of difficult child'S? Is this common? If yes, what kind of medications and for what? Depression/Stress? Thank you in advance for your response. ME AND THE BOYS

I am here looking for some advice. difficult child 2 has always had a hard time sleeping from the time he was a baby he would wake up in the middle of the night and be awake for hours before going back to sleep again. As he grew older the sleep pattern changed a bit but still at 9 y/o was coming home and...

I have 2 difficult child's. easy child went into to see psychiatrist the other day, and psychiatrist thinks she is dealing with depression, anxiety and probably has attentional issues. She started her on zoloft and trazodone to sleep, will see how she is in a month (hopefully she does well on the zoloft) and then maybe start...

Hi All, Last night during my 8 yr old difficult child's rage.... he started kickin the living room window while laying on the sofa. I was telling him to knock it off, and to use his "coping skills" and I turned to walk away to go cool down as I was getting very frustrated with him and he decided to throw...

So both difficult child's have appts with psychiatrist today. I am just not sure what to tell her as to how they are doing, being as I have not been doing so well myself. difficult child son got in a fight 2 weeks ago at school, but really has not been doing too badly. I am concerned as the school psychiatric who did some...

Hello Everyone, I am new to Forums and Support Groups, infact this is my very first post to a forum ever :) I did a lot of reading before joining and I think this is a very helpful place. My difficult child is 13. He has Tourette's + (Plus), ODD, ADHD, Learning Disability (LD),and a previous seizure disorder where he was...

Kanga has been in the psychiatric hospital for 7 days. They have screwed up her medications EVERY DAY. First they didn't even have Vyvanse in the hospital pharmacy. It took them THREE days to get some. Then they gave her Cogentin without my consent. Now they are decreasing her Geodon. So instead of 20mg AM and 160mg...

Hi, after reading about Elijah, and noting that my difficult child is only on 1/2 a 0.5 mg tablet of Clonidine, I'm wondering what to suggest to the psychiatrist on Mon. The Zoloft was a total bust, if you all recall. No mood changes, but plenty of physical symtoms. He did SO well on the Clonidine in the psychiatric hospital when...

Clonidine makes my little difficult child very irritable the next day. So much so that we avoid using it unless its a last ditch effort. Is there another drug that has the sedative properties that anyone else has tried? We don't use it often, but the after-effects when we have to are about as bad as...

I have previously posted about my difficult child going downhill and losing his grip. He became really manic and sleep deprived almost to the point of psychosis (wouldn't even sleep with help of clonidine and trazadone). one week ago yesterday he was admitted to the psychiatric hospital. Our new psychiatrist's office is actually...

good morning: bringing difficult child to meet new art/biofeedback therapist today if i can wake her. she was up again last night. it isnt' a dad transitional thing, that did make it worse because dad lays with-her. it's a "her" thing. She's been doing it for soo many mos. now i've forgotten. Our day's...

Ok, so here it is, when difficult child was recently inpatient, the psychiatrist not only added Lithium ER to his medications, but added Trazadone for sleep. difficult child has had huge problems sleeping. difficult child is taking 150 mg Trazadone. He takes all his medications at about 7pm (either my daughter or I visually watch him). Anyway, some...

Has anyone tried melatonin? How did you find it? I mentioned to the psychiatrist about difficult child 3 being increasingly late to bed then sleeping in late and being difficult to get moving - out of character. I realise some of this may be typical teen stuff coming in, but I need to find some way to 'switch' difficult child 3 into...

ok so i totally shouldnt' be complaining at this point. I posted yesterday how great difficult child is doing in school, such an improvement on social level with this medication, etc. all of that is absolutely great. Yet it's now after ten, i gave her the medication at 5:30 today with plans to get her in by 8:30 9...
