zyprexa

Honestly, I think we've done most of them. This is kind of a follow up to the ADHD thing. We did meet with psychiatrist on Friday, and she was gracious (as always) to go ahead with my thoughts on re-trying the Concerta (just one more time, even though we've tried it two or three times, I keep hoping...

We know it's helpful because when things start...

Actually, it is the generic (lorazepam) and psychiatrist had prescribed 0.5 mg tablets as needed but cautioned not to give it to difficult child often due to addictive nature. He said to start with one tablet and if it was too much then give 1/2. If it wasn't enough, give more but not to exceed 2 tablets in one...

Ok, Q is not huge, but he is now 5 feet and weighed 107 at the doctor today (had to go he said his heart hurt, I think it is heartburn but not sure so had to check). He is averaging 1.5 to 2 lbs per week. I have to get his height from d/c at hospital and the last two doctor appts to see if...

Before Oct: Lithobid raised from 900 to 1200mg/day; depakote er remains at 500 mg/day; AP's had been tried prn but didn't...

I had to take my son to the ER tonight -- apparently he developed a bad reaction to the Zyprexa. We were at a restaurant for dinner when he started complaining of his throat and tongue feeling swollen. I ran to a local drugstore and got some liquid Benedryl to give to him. On the way to the...

Just spent the evening in the ER. About 6:45 pm, he came to me with drool bubbles and his mouth at an odd angle. I thought he was choking on something. He got his drink, and it all ran out and he was jumping up and down, not able to close his mouth. I looked and could see nothing and his...

Hi everyone. difficult child is back in psychiatric hospital again. He was evaluated in our local emergency room Friday between 3:30-7:30pm then transported to the psychiatric hospital at 10pm. husband and I were there until them admitting him at 8:30 this morning. This time he didn't come after me, but went at his dad, tried to push him...

I know some of you with difficult child's with extreme anxiety and a tendency to get physical have emergency prn's. We normally use the clonodine or tenex that *usually* knocks our difficult child out, but it doesn't always work. I am looking at taking difficult child on a trip with me (to see the baby). He is doing really...

The medication merry go round. The Zyprexa made her angry all the time, instead of just half the time. Very aggressive, irritable, raging, irrational and all the other adjectives. doctor tried 2.5 mg of Prozac. Makes her hyper out of her mind. Today, her troop leader pulled me aside and told me that...

hi... so i went to difficult child's pyschdoc today, to see if we can find another medication. We had to pull the lamictal last week due to the burn/rash that appeared. i went alone this time, so that him and i could have a more intelligent conversation, speaking very openly about the medications, approaches...

I may have asked this before, but I can't find the answer and to be honest, I forget. Not a big surprise. difficult child was on lithium in the summer, unfortunately he became toxic and the psychiatrist decided to switch to Lamictal. He had been doing pretty well,but his anxiety level has gotten worse. He makes me...

difficult child 2's mom took difficult child 2 to the psychiatrist today to *try* to get him on a mood stabilizer. He is currently taking 5mg Zyprexa and Welbutrin (don't remember the dosage). This is a different psychiatrist than he's seen, but at the same facility. The last psychiatrist (in the same facility) put him on Welbutrin because...

I'm going to make an appointment for difficult child for something to help her sleep. She's had trouble sleeping for years. Melatonin doesn't work, nor does benadryl. What do your kids take at night to help with sleep?

Hello, I am here with difficult child who is soon to be 6. He has diagnosis' of Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP), ADHD, ODD, sensory processing disorder (SPD), Separation Anxiety, and celiac disease. He will choose to not eat for days, and literally starve himself. He has had a feeding tube until this last August and we are praying to keep it out. difficult child is...

Halo, all I am not new to this forum, but I am new to Easy Child......I had posted often on the GP side :) We have been having more and more school issues with my little dude, who is 4 and a halve years old! Please could you give me a reality check on this situation! I posted before about little dude...

Well, I posted a few weeks back that my easy child/difficult child 2 had turned from doing fair to becoming a complete nightmare after adding Zoloft into his medication mix. The only choice was to of course discontinue the Zoloft & start him on Risperdal, which has helped some, but not completely (maybe 50%...
