[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 341018, member: 2423"] Gran, welcome to our safe corner of cyberspace. I'm glad you have found us, but sorry you need to. As you have realized, your daughter needs intensive help. Is there any way to make her prescribing doctors (psychiatrist and neurologist?) understand how erratic her behavior is and get her into an inpatient facility? As Janet mentioned, Zoloft could very well be contributing to her erratic behavior. It can cause behavior that is aggressive, irresponsible, angry, irritable, depressive and mission-oriented. It can even cause psychosis, which is why your daughter may not be remembering everything that is happening to her. In general, mood disorders are treated with a mood stabilizer like Depakote plus an atypical antipsychotic (Risperdal, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Abilify, Geodon, Invega). People with mood disorders typically do worse if they take SSRI antidepressants like Zoloft and stimulants like Vyvanse (as you saw with your daughter). They can become disinhibited on benzodiazapines like Klonopin. It's important to get her on the right medications and off the wrong ones or your daughter will continue to behave erratically. Hang in there, Gran, and welcome again. [/QUOTE]
