    2 Fs, 3 Ds and a B

    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...

    Lexapro FDA approved for use in adolescents

    But, there still seems to be some controversy. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29797423/

    Report card time

    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...

    I got some hopefully helpful info today

    I have posted before about difficult child being thrown into a mania on the Celexa the psychiatrist put her on. When I talked to the dr about it, she said difficult child really did seem depressed initially so she tried another AD. I was kinda bothered by the fact that she chose the medication because difficult child said the name sounded...

    difficult child sneaking up in middle of the night

    difficult child has only been on Zoloft for 2 days, so I don't think that's it. He has been getting up in the middle of the night and playing PS2, and sneaking snacks. I thought I had hidden anything with-wheat and oats in my locked office. I think these things have babies in the middle of the night. When you...

    Slowly watching irritability increase...

    So, M has been on Celexa for about 6 weeks total (4 wks at 20 mg's) and 4 1/2 weeks on the Tenex. I'm slowly seeing his level of tolerance decrease...he's becoming more irritable and I'm starting to see a return to the less stable M that we knew before the medications. We're not *at that point* yet...

    HELP - defining odd speech patterns

    I've got a curly question for you. I'm hoping someone can help me find the appropriate label for difficult child 3's pattern of speech. husband does it too (not as much) and also to a lesser extent, easy child 2/difficult child 2. It's worst at the end of the day when medications have worn off; also in the morning before medications kick in, but...

    HELP!! I am so confused.....

    I have a 12 yo difficult child. I have been on here in the past. He has been on medications for ADHD since he was 7. Then when he was 10 in 4th grade we moved to a new town. After the move he became a bit sad so the psychiatrist put him on Prozac. He became more depressed on that. So I took him off. A few month...

    Hospitalization #3

    Well, it's been a rough few days, but suffice it to say, difficult child 2 was hospitalized yesterday for his 3rd time. Since his father's death he has steadily spiraled downward. Tuesday night he crossed the line. Through the course of his meltdown he grabbed me by the throat and pinned me to the wall...

    medication question

    We see psychiatrist tomorrow afternoon but just curiosity... R was switched to 10 mg Celexa almost 2 weeks ago. He was taking 12.5 mg of Zoloft but it didn't help at all. A couple of things I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that I can't figure out if they're medication related or what... 1. I used...

    Overly anxious about sounds/voices...

    I don't know what to make of it or do with it (if anything)... M seems overly anxious/concerned about sounds/voices that he can't place...like he wants to make sure that the rest of us heard them too and that we know where the sound was coming from. (did that make any sense? LOL) For instance...

    Antidepressants work no better than Placebos 82% of the time (CNN)

    I heard this today and thought I'd pass it on. I believe it's true, HOWEVER the doctor on TV said that antidepressants DO work on the severely depressed (that's definitely me). I know they work for me. Mild/medium depression not so much--they recommend therapy and exercise. Thought I'd pass it along.
