[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 227246, member: 1697"] medications, for us, were a nitemare. difficult child began on Ritalin....and then a couple years later docs added Paxil, Prozac um....Tenex, Klonopin, wellbutrin, Zoloft, ativan, Buspar.......neurontin, seroquel, and more and more, that at the moment, I cannot pull the names from my memory. Paixl and Prozac made her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) worse, actually. She began to hoard all kinds of items, pencils, scissors, scotch tape, then knives......in her pillowcase. She was 8. Then she became suicidal. Switched to zoloft and an ER visit, and a medication wash. VERY manic and psychotic. Ativan and Buspar lowered her inhibitions....she was calmer, but acted out more, no inhibition control at all. Seroquel caused her to balloon up incredibly, insanely. She tripled her weight in a matter of mere months. She developed insulin resistance, and very very high blood pressure. Even now years off the medications, her insulin resistance and weight and very high blood pressure never settled back to anything even close to "normal" Her activity level had to be restricted due to the blood pressure and paliptations and shortness of breathe. Her anxiety increased dramatically .........and never did abate. Each person can be so different in their reaction to ANY medication......it can be so hard to find ones that give the results you seek, and so hard to find ones whose negative parts are tolerable (and safe) Between, me, my husband and difficult child and then our son....we have tried so many psychiatric medications, in so many combinations and doses.....had worked with medications for all 4 of us starting 20 years ago..........with so many in patient trips and day hospital programs and psychiatrists and ndocs monitoring.....we have a wide range of diagnosis'es.....and those diagnosis'es have changed so many times over the 20 years, and the medications and doses have changed so much.....and the medications and doses can overlap with each other for all the diagnosis'es...... I wish you the best of luck. [/QUOTE]
