Is anyone's difficult child on something for anxiety???? Probably should have asked earlier as I'm leaving for psychiatrist in 30 minutes and he really needs to do something to get Tigger's anxiety under control.

So, last night was the first full night home for D. He had a good day at school and came home happy to play with his brothers. There was some tension with A, but I did see that D was able to compromise and work things out which is a major milestone!! But, as dinner time came along, things...

Hello out there - Well, the moniker says it all. AHHUM: Angry Harsh Hostile Unloving Mom These are all the names I have been called while trying to navigate the so-called authorities & bureaucrates over the last 4 years. Here's our story: Son is 15, 16 in April Son ran away for 10 days...

Here we go again ... difficult child does not tolerate stimulants well and has severe tics on them and his neuropsychologist suggested Wellbutrin which made him break out in a rash. Now he suggests Lexapro ... I just feel so bad for difficult child and all these medications worry me. In my heart I know he needs "something" to...

If any of you read earlier, I let my difficult child stay home because she was/is exhausted. We think from the Zoloft. But, when I left at 10:30 I asked her to come downstairs. I told her she could go back to sleep, but she didn't. So, when I got home this afternoon she has been in rare form. She has...

I am angry with my son's insurance company, with his psychiatrist, his therapist and his caseworker. They don't seem to realize that I do have a brain and may know what is best for my child. Okay....neither he or his brother are my biologically born children. They were born to my son and his...

hi can someone please help give me their experience with ssri's which is a medication we do not use for difficult child due to her reaction to it. pysch doctor wouldnt' see her today or medicate her. long story on other thread. put call into peds to get her medication in the meantime while i'm working on calling another...

The current medications and vitamins are working GREAT!!! difficult child states he if feeling better for the most part. The "weird" feeling is going away. I am seeing a happier more confident kid. He is not as clingy and in fact has joined the other 12 yr old boys in searching out ways to be...

No that isn't difficult child's progress report grades. It's easy child's (or maybe it should be difficult child the 2nd). All the teachers commented she isn't doing her homework. She feels she shouldn't have to talk about her grades and we shouldn't be concerned because they are her grades:angry: She also has been...

I generally don't talk about the medications I try because there are always tons of bad experiences out there and I want to keep an open mind about our trial. So we are trying zoloft to see if it won't take the edge off of the anxiety and ocdness. It's been about 4 weeks now. I have decided today...

We moved easy child into her new apt with her boyfriend yesterday. It's a nice place (we all cleaned it last week). I like the boyfriend, I spoke with him in private and I know he loves easy child and everything, I am just worried that they're not rishing into something bigger than they can handle. But you know they both...

Ok, I'm working thru all this, I think. Two questions: 1) psychiatrist always meets with both difficult child and me together so some things might be worded a little differently as a result. If psychiatrist says "watch for signs of agitation", does that mean that if difficult child is suddenly the epitemy of defiance, that...

I checked report cards on line last night. I'll start with the better of the two, difficult child. Yep difficult child did better than easy child. Granted his curriculum is modified but he pulled out all "Bs" and "Cs" which for him means he is working hard when he can (according to recent phone calls it doesn't seem like he...

Hello, My difficult child is 15 almost 16 one of her many problems are her cycles (I am sure you know what I mean) are not regular. She has had cycles since she was almost 13 and they have yet to be real regular. I would have to say every other month her cycle is on time and the other months it is late by...

difficult child went to new psychiatrist last night, he is AWESOME! She loves him which is huge. We went over her history, told him I don't think she is where she should be with medications yet. Not like she was when she first started Zoloft, not a big wow effect with Celexa yet, better but not wow. Explained the...

Has anyone taken lexapro or other antidepressants felt nervous? Tense in their bodies? I mainly notice it more when still.....i.e. in bed. Input? THANK YOU.

difficult child has not taken the Effexor for 3 doses, for the past 2 days he has been miserable, today he is almost unbearable. He said he feels dizzy and his head feels weird (brain zaps) he feels very fatigued. What do I do? We are not planning on starting another AD right away but I did read that...

HI Just wanted to report on the latest medication trial for difficult child #2 who has Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), and is quite impulsive, distractable, and very inflexible when he doesn't get his way. Doesn't really fit the childhood bipolar diagnosis very well, closest thing seems to be what Smallworld talked about a while back of...

I know it could take weeks, months, up to a year, but could it take less than 48 hrs? The in-laws visited M last night and said he was talking a mile a minute their entire visit and they were "exhausted" by the time they got out of there. They said he was well behaved and he was focused (so...
