daughter saw a Developmental pediatrician. last week. husband said she didn't get a prescrip, she has to look through the paperwork and results still. Going back on 8/8. She wrote down Impulse Control, Mood Stabilizer and ODD. She asked if she's hypersexual, which she is. husband thinks she asked this because I...

Hi Everyone, I am new here and writing this with desperation and hopelessness. I have a 5 year old son who has serious problems. He wasn't "typical" from birth, although at the time I didn't know that since he was my first. I have since had another child and now understand that the way my son...

So difficult child's current diagnosis (among others) is Bipolar not otherwise specified, but what does "stable" actually look like in a kid? I have bruises on both arms from bites and my right leg from being kicked repeatedly and he's only been out of the hospital since last Wed. It still seems like his moods are all over the place...

Don't know about anyone else, but dealing with a child with conduct disorder is the most frustrating, disappointing, annoying, horrifying, exhausting, obnoxious thing on this planet. My son has been oppositional defiant for two years. Any little change in routine and it's 20 minutes of being...

good morning, so, difficult child went in today to school as we had planned. she hasn't been in school all year due to 2 hospitalizations most of you know about. So, the plan I devised was she would spend a day just walking around the bldg. with-school pyschologist to re adjust to environment, and than...

My daughter is 5 and was born am unhappy baby. We thought we would die from lack of sleep the first year, we are still exhausted. She it's a sweet girl was a sweet baby until she would get mad and boy we thought she would literally have a stroke when she melted down. At 3 she had to have...

We finally got a prescription to medications, she's going to start taking guanfacine/tenex. It sounds like this is one of the lower side effects drugs, which is good. The actual assesment said she had ADHD, predominantly inattentive type, ODD, development math disorder, developmental expressive...

Hello, This is my first post. My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Aspergers a few years ago. She is now also diagnosed with ADHD but possibly a mood disorder. Her reactions to medications point to possible mood disorder, not necessarily Bipolar, but maybe. She has ALWAYS been...

Please inform me if I am wrong here about the age and tantrums. I opened the car door not knowing he had a bag of popcorn leaning against it and the Popcorn fell on the floor spilling out most of it. He yelled at me that he told me to wait but I honestly did not hear him say that or anything...

Today is day 15 on 1 mg Intuniv. Tomorrow we are supposed to go to 2 mg. Tonight difficult child is so completely out of control. He is belligerent, combative, quarrelsome, antagonistic, contentious!!! He is annoying everyone! He is in all of our faces. He is acting like a crazed maniac. Looking back...

I'm looking for some help here on how to help difficult child 2 who seems to get very stuck on one way of thinking or in some emotion. When he had his neuropsychologist testing done the tester obseved that he had the highest number of attempts she had ever seen on this one test (moving pegs?)--he persevered...

Please forgive me if this post is not very organized. I am totally exhausted yet eager to share with you guys how the appointments with the tdocs and psychiatrists went over the past two days. Let me preface the update by saying we have been going to neurologists, psychologist, therapists and...

I thought Risperdal was supposed to increase appetite and cause weight gain? My difficult child has been on it for about a week now and I haven't seen increase in eating. This is the one side effect I want him to have because the Adderall he's on suppresses his appetite. Do I have to wait longer to see...

difficult child 2 had only one timeout today -- YAY! Again, for minor stuff. No violence, no inappropriate behavior with other kids. I think the Seroquel bump is working, but I'm not sure if this is truly enough yet. He's still a bit impulsive in the late afternoon now (at least we're getting a couple...

Does anyone have any ideas for dealing with difficult child 2 who gets so bent out shape when he doesn't get what he wants. Friends aren't available to come over, he wants something now, somebody didn't get something at the store, he wants to do something, something doesn't go his way, he gets bummed out...

difficult child 2 has been diagnosis'd with Bipolar II and ADHD. In my mind, the ADHD is in question because I don't think he's properly medicated - although he is better on his medications than without; just still not stable. His medications are Symbyax (sp?), trazadone for sleep, propranolol for tremors, and Adderall (the...

Hi all. Not been here for a while. Has anyone here had any experience with Clozaril? Any negative side effects? I've just found out that my new partner is taking it, and also used to take Abilify too. I've done all the Googling I can possibly do...I;m just asking for people's personal...

Its a long story but I will get straight to the point. My boyfriend's niece is a difficult child, she is 14 years old and has showed signs of being bi-polar since shes a young child. Her parents had her on a low dose of prozac and she seemed to be doing great. 4 years ago she was taken from the parents and placed...

Tomorrow we head to the psychiatrist. W is going to be evaluated and we are going to talk about L's medications. When we upped L's medications, they had said that we can take them up 1mg yet or possibly change to Abilify. Anyone have any experience with Abilify?

Went to see the new P-doctor today and we talked medications I had thought that he would raise difficult child#1 Celexa but the doctor wanted to add Abilify to the mix. Anyone had any experience with this medication?
