zoloft

Hi, New here and first post. I have a very angry 10 year old daughter. I don't want to get into all the details surrounding the root of her problems but to make a long story short. The divorce of me and her father and her fathers suicide has added fuel to the fire. She is disrespectful...

Ughh. A rough afternoon. Not even over yet. School out at 2:30. Called the police at 3:00 for the hitting, throwing, slamming, yelling, general unruliness. difficult child asleep by 3:05 and the police arrived at 3:20. The officers were very understanding, even pointing out that if it was better that...

Our kids have off for this whole week. Mid winter recess they call it. I call it a waste of a week, but what do I know? easy child wanted to go to sports camp for the whole week (M - F, 9am - 3pm) so he gets out of the house, away from his brother, and is happy and busy. difficult child? Not so much. He's ******...

Ok so I've been doing some research online on difficult children medications (concerta, risperdal & zoloft) and I think I'm more confused now than I was when I started. Concerta info says it should not be given to ADHD kids with anxiety, which difficult child is diagnosis'd with and has serious issues with. Zoloft says it is only...

This is the first time that I'm going into an appointment with the idea of telling the doctor that I want his medications increased. At least the risperdal. He has been so bad over the last month or two. Rude. Nasty. LOTS of name calling, especially towards easy child. I could cope with it if it were...

I know that some of you here have dealt with this issue. difficult child is on Celexa (20 mg) and the psychiatrist wants him to start Risperdal (.25 mg) and he is refusing to take it. He says that it's the Celexa that is making him behave badly (because we put him on it in the first place because he was behaving...

difficult child heads back to school tomorrow. And, I should be excited. Instead I am filled with dread. The battle to get her up and out the door to school every.single.day begins again. I hate it. I am hoping that with the new year we will have a better track record. I am trying so hard to be...

Saw the new psychiatrist on Friday. I wasn't really all that impressed with him and it didn't help that difficult child was on his best behavior and told stories of rainbows and roses. Something to the effect of "I get good grades, get along with my family and I'm not depressed in the slightest...." Little snot...

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...

Hi, everyone! I am a mother to 2 difficult children, both girls, age 11 and 5. I feel like I am truly losing my mind. difficult child 1 (who will actually be 11 in 10 days) just started her third week of partial hospitalization. It looks like we will end up with diagnoses of ADHD-combined and ODD, with heavy emphasis on...

We had the appointment with the new psychiatrist on Thursday and it went very well. She really lived up to what I was hoping for from someone with her credentials. I wrote down and brought with me a written statement for her with everything about the situation - difficult child's current situation, physical and...

difficult child decided she was so tired that she went upstairs at 9:30 last night. (After staying home from school and sleeping 17 hours.) When we got upstairs to her room she was on her bed snuggling her dog just crying. She said she doesn"t understand why she has to be so tired after sleeping so much...

Did I remember this wrong or is there truth to the theory that AD's can cause a manic type reaction, even if the kid (or adult) is not truly bipolar? I'm aware that AD's can trigger mania in a person with bipolar, but I thought I also remembered reading in a couple of different places that this...

How do you look forward and say things will be ok? Right now I am having a hard time even seeing a productive future for my difficult child DD14. She is flunking out of H.S. right now, and does not care at all. We cannot get her to do any of her work. It is tearing me apart, not to mention what it is...

Hello all. I am new here, but unfortunately not new to the issues you all are going through. My husband and I are at the end of our rope with our difficult child 14. She has always dealt with anxiety,, and was on Celexa for years. We dealt with the anger outbursts as they came, and moved on. But as she has...

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...

difficult child came in last night to tell me she couldn't sleep. ( I have always told her she could come and get me ) So I went and got in bed with her and rubbed her back and sang to her. She ended up falling asleep pretty quickly. But, she kept having muscle spasms/twitches throughout her entire body...

Good Morning All-- Forgive me for venting here... Seemed like difficult child had been making good progress...the therapist felt that she improved so much on the Celexa that there was really no more need for weekly sessions (and just as well since Medicaid is dropping coverage of weekly counseling...

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...

difficult child was just in my daughter's bedroom with my DS and I hear "look, I'm committing suicide!!" (I kept the baby monitor on) So I went to the door and I hear DS saying "I don't want to hear any more of that ****" So the explaination is he was using Woody (doll) and standing him on the edge of daughter's...
