Hi! difficult child 1 is at it again! He's back in the psychiatric hospital. for an overnight due to a meltdown (got home around midnight last night!). Very - extrememly long story...he's in a Community Residence about 5 miles away so I'm not involved on the daily behaviors. He comes home for about 5 hours on Saturdays...

difficult child has been on abilify for years... his behavior is often off the charts aggressive & violent. recent psychiatrist is suggesting switching to zyprexa or abilify. he's been on zyprexa for years prior to abilify, and it was no better. And i can't recall for sure, but i think he also tried Seroquel...

All of our questions about whether the Risperdal was helping or not have been answered today. Yep, was doing something. difficult child has now put us in crisis mode. His behavior is back to where it was when we admitted him into the inpatient unit this summer. We made an emergency call to the psychiatrist who...

You guys are always my go to place when we start having problems. Some of you may remember me and my difficult child Juan Carlos. Since starting seroquel last year, Carlos has been awesome. He has had zero violent outbursts and is learning how to deal with his emotions. I am still homeschooling him...

(kicked out of one or another, or else refuses to go to class) Anyway. psychiatrist appointment. today. Stopped the remerom and put him on Abilify. Now, difficult child has a very...

Hello, I have been away for awhile and need advice. My difficult child is diagnosed with bi-polar. He has currently been taking Abilify 10.0 mg 1x/day and Clonidine 2 times/day (1/2 pill in am and 1 and 1/2 pill at bedtime). He continues to struggle with moods,oppositional behavior and has started some new...

that may be working for your kid. What do you do when you've tried them all? Dylan's hyperactivity and impulsivity are skyrocketing. We had him 6 full days over the holiday, and every person that came in contact with him said he seemed "10x worse", "ready to jump out of his skin", "couldn't...

Well... Picked daughter up Friday after much pestering for several days from me to the doctor at the hospital. Husband and I had weekend plans and we had a spot for her in a respite camp so we weren't sure what to do. The doctor finally decided to release her on Friday and also recommended we...

So difficult child 2 is working his way back to manic today. Actually starting seeing the signs on Thursday. Besides being incredibly obnoxious this morning he was giggling intermittently. At one point he said that everything was going too slowly. I said "is that because your thoughts are going fast?" and...

I haven't posted a lot lately, either my own threads or response to others because wee difficult child has been very, very "off" for a month or longer. I would say he qualifies as manic. Even sleep patterns have changed. A few times, we have had to use our emerency PRN medication to knock him down. Except...

it has been over a month. We did it with the support of psychiatrist, therapist, School Nurse and the School plus her Teacher. She has been on an AP since December of 2006. She has developed severe or worsening drooling, tongue thrust, tics, movement issues, internal agitation, inability to sit still...

difficult child#1 has always been VERY particular about bedtime, and the anxiety it brings on. He started taking risperdal about 3 months ago, after trying abilify first for helping with anxiety, aggression and agitation symptoms. It really seems to be helping alot during the day, and he seems so "on"...

Has anyone ever had a difficult child experience a drastic increase irritability and depressive symptoms while taking Risperdal? difficult child began Risperdal in late January to help with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-related anxiety. He started on the initial dose of 0.25mg at bedtime. They increased his dose to 1mg at bedtime a month ago...

So, we had our psychiatrist appointment yesterday after M was getting more frustrated and explosive/violent on the increased Tenex. psychiatrist decided to take M completely off the Tenex...cold turkey! I must have protested three or four times saying, "But I was told you had to wean off of Tenex..." and "Are you...

So difficult child has been acting increasingly hypomanic, bordering on manic. He has the pressured speech (which is non stop), racing thoughts, impulsivity, and irritability. I hate to add an ap back in, but I can see it is needed. We are starting risperdal tomorrow. Just .25mg, but psychiatrist and I are...

So Geodon is no longer working. Much like every other medication we've tried, it worked for awhile but he always ends up crazy again. He's back to being over-the-top anxious and paranoid and seeing shadows and hearing things and being e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y violent at the drop of a hat and constantly...
