zoloft

Hi, I haven't posted here in a long time. My 9 y/o son is now diagnosis with bipolar and is taking abilify and clonidine. He is still struggling with a lot of the same moodiness as he was before the abilify, but has gained 23 pounds since school started. My understanding is Abilify is supposed to be...

Hi Everyone. It's very hard to know where to begin with this post because so much has happened. Life has been very difficult. Our decision to wean difficult child of all medications was a very bad one. She has been cycling between hostility, which sometimes results in violence/destruction, and sadness and talk...

We are still not right with-the medications for either of my kids. :( My difficult child 1 was on Zoloft (after failing on Prozac) and we just weaned her off because I didn't think it was helping and thought maybe it was making her more angry. Maybe I was wrong because she's been completely off the Zoloft since last week...

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...

We finally saw difficult child's new psychiatrist yesterday and we have a good place to start working. First thing he wanted to take him off Ritalin because in kiddos with high anxiety that can cause voices or hallunications. WOW! That made him feel somewhat better about what was going on. Now he is on Concerta...

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...

This will be the 4th time now that the school has called at the same time during the day (right before school lets out) telling me difficult child has wet himself and needs picked up. I think he's trying to get out of riding the bus. The bus causes quite a bit of anxiety for him and my husband won't go pick...

when difficult child is raging and destroying their rooms? Literally, the door jam and door are broken. The closet door is broken. There are holes in the walls and a broken desk drawer? I'm seriously about to take EVERYTHING out of the room. It just makes me nuts that she is destroying my house. Yeah...

My son is currently in a physchiatric hospital to get his medications stabilized. During this time (8 LONG days and counting) he has been given PRN medication either by mouth or injection (ativan and more often zypraxia) when he is having a violent meltdown. While the goal is to become satablized...

I just found this site and need help. I'm sorry I don't know all the spcial acronyms. My son is 14.5 and has had intermiittent rages for 2 years. He is on zoloft and abilify. Things have progressed where he is getting more physical towards me. tonite he had me a in headlock for awhile (my...

easy child is at it again.... He has been in his room since 6:00 !!!!! He has NOT done his homework. He has NOT showered....and he is staying up all night. It is so hard to get this child to budge when he sets his mind to it....He's actually just reading....which is a miracle because for most of the...

I am new to this site today. I am on my last rope so to speak. I am an educated medical professional with a difficult child 12 son, ADHD, ODD, Depression. We are on medications (30mg Adderall XR, 100mg Zoloft) also cursed with asthma, and allergies. I want to pull out my hair, we have been dealing with this...

Hi, I am happy to have found a place where there are other people who have similar "war" stories!! You can't just talk to anyone about these things....they wouldn't believe you or I have had people say it is just a discipline issue!! Anyway, on to my problem or concern!! My 12 yr old son was...

I don't know how much longer I can do this. He's GOT to go! Half of my family has been torn apart already. I refuse the lose the rest of them!! NO remorse! NO feelings for anyone but himself! If I don't send him somewhere soon he's going back to bio-dad. I can't take it, and I won't subject my...

So - my easy child is currently taking a generic version of Zoloft for diagnosed depression... It's been less than 2 weeks so I can't say we've seen any results but the psychiatric thinks she also has ADD... the symptom checkers online do match up but we have not experience with this and I'm wondering...

that we are going to try one more medication. One more and if it doesn't work, Dylan's treatment will continue and finish unmedicated. Luvox - 25 mg tabs. Yeah, I read where they just keep saying on the website "You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start taking an antidepressant...

:sigh:My son is nearly 14 and out of control. He is diresectful. refuses to obey rules, he uses foul language and he has rages that can last for days. We have been more doctors than I can count and nothing is helping. He is on fluxetine and risperdone. The risperdone has caused him to gain...

we kicked the Geodon. Was stimulating (I'm laughing, because wouldn't that be typical of my son?). Our choices are, very obviously, limited. The doctor, again (if you remember, he tried this once), suggested the Tegretol. There is an interaction warning with Lithium and Tegretol. After I reminded...

I'm a father and am the custodial parent of my teen daughter (15). Since 6th grade I thought she had ADD and she has been on almost every medication for that over the years. She has always been defiant but it keeps getting worse. I'll try to summarize her problems over the past 2 years: She went...

my difficult child has been on it all summer and I wonder if things are worse (mood wise) than before. difficult child has always been difficult and moody and stubborn, but the last few months she has taken it all to a new level. I will call the office that prescribes it tomorrow - but I just was wondering if all...
