zoloft

If your difficult child is taking two stabilizers and a stimulant, here's my question(s): 1. When you added the second mood stabilizer, did you have to reduce the amount of the first mood stabilizer? 2. When you added the second mood stabilizer, did you also have to reduce the amount of stimulant...

Well, this is day 3 of weaning my grandson off Zoloft. He has been taking it for about 9 months now, but was raised to 200 mg in March when he was hospitalized. Behavior went down the poop shoot from then on. Finally, last week, doctor decided to take him off zoloft. We have weaned him to...

Before sending off my difficult child to a residential treatment boarding school, we want to try an antidepressant. Right now he's taking Imiprimine at night but the psychiatrist seems to view that more in terms of bedwetting issues. Don't ask me why. I was thinking that since difficult child had such a horrid reaction a few...

Hello friends, I have been weeping and wailing today (this happened about a week ago out of sadness of infertility, it was kind of uncontrollable a week ago). This intense wailing, though may happen on occasion, is not a normal thing for me. (I'm taking a pill for a physical issue and I...

Can anyone tell me about Lithium? Today my son had an appointment with his psychiatrist and he was totally himself during the appointment. His psychiatrist got to see him in true form today! MH was argumentative and disrespectful to me. He “corrected” me and spoke to me as if he is my equal and not my son...

I am new to this forum, but not new to parenting a difficult child. My son's dad and I began getting help for him when he was 2 and he is now 13. He has had the priviledge of receiving some of the best care in the state of Arizona, which came at a heavy cost to us as we did not have insurance...

Hi. I am going through the roof with my difficult child's situation. He's 13 and we don't know what to do or where to go next. He is currently in an alternative education (partial) program offered by an area school district where he is doing "all right" but still having bouts of depression, lying...

Long story made short... my neighbor is a behavior specialist within our school district, most recently having worked in daughter's elementary school. I spoke with- her at length about Sam & his behavior issues, and gave her copies of all the material I have (evaluations, IEP, parent write-up). She...

This morning difficult child refused to go to therapeutic school. It seemed that nothing we tried was going to work. We took away all his things and he said he did not care, then he kicked me. DS called the police. They went upstairs and spoke with him to see if they could figure out what was going on...

I'm truly exhausted today & can't believe it took this long to figure out a support group would be SO wonderful! I don't even know where to begin. I don't exactly recall where it started. Since every day begins with a battle, it's hard to pinpoint when the battle became a full-blown war. I...

When difficult child comes off the concerta it sends him into mania and nothing seems to snap him out of it until the next dose. How do we get in out of this vicious cycle? Docs don't get it! we are supposed to start zoloft this weekend and i'm not excited about it.... Thank you for any feed back...

Hello- I am new to this group and I am wondering if you guys could give me some advice. I will try not to jump all over the place so I don't confuse you. :) My son- a twin, he is 10 was diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade. He is a very loving, caring kid. He is sensative and he loves to...

This is going to be long. For the most part, daughter had been bordering on being a easy child all of her life. She met her milestones SUPER early (very, very verbal at an early age, taught herself to read at 3, always scored highest in her grade on standardized testing, etc) and was generally just a happy...

So, the instability with-the medications for my kids continues - particularly difficult child 1 this time. She was doing fair on Risperdal and Concerta. Much better than before she started on those medications. But her anxiety and ADHD were not really under control. The raging meltdowns were gone, though. So after a few...

Ok so I told you guys I would ask about the Tourette's. Basically the psychiatrist said, yup, he meets criteria... except for the fact that we know it is from not only the brain injury but probably the prozac and concerta add to it... We are going off of the prozac! I am glad, it never...

Need some ladies.. difficult child is currently on vyvanse. Thanks to DHs insurance, it costs 160 bucks per month. We just can't afford it. BM refuses to help, despite their court order. Doctor is trying to get Adderral approved, but that's the same price. Pharmacist said we might want to give ritalin a...

I'm glad i found this place. My son is 11 and i feel totally overwhelmed. He has been expelled multiple schools. I can't hold a job due to his behavior because no friends/relatives can handle him. He's sooo angry I have no idea how to help him. I'm a recovering addict (been sober 4 years) and I...

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...
