    Hi there! I am new to this forum so a little background. My son is 18 and was started on Buspar for anxiety that is paralyzing socially. I am sad to say that he has no friends and is very depressed over this. He is on 30mg Buspar 2x per day. A couple of weeks ago he seemed to be doing pretty...

    difficult child will be starting BuSpar

    We finally met with-the psychiatrist today and told him about difficult child's tight chest and breathing problems, and how they hit him several times a day. Both therapist and psychiatrist think it's panic attacks, so psychiatrist suggested Prozac. I nixed that because of difficult child's prior problems. We are discontinuing the Imiprimine. And the...

    BuSpar, anyone?

    Had a good visit with doctor today. He spoke well of BuSpar as an "as needed" treatment for those long days when the Metadate is worn off and Bug just can't control himself. He feels that we can control the dose and frequency. Any thoughts? Anyone using BuSpar this way? by the way: We feel blessed...

    Arrggg, incesssant talking, hyper, not liking this.

    So Thursday I went into difficult child's counselling session with him. He hates to have me there, but given all the sleep issues he has been having? It was needed. difficult child was off the wall goofy, very distractable, hyper, and just plain silly. I think some of what was said got through to him, but therapist...

    difficult child just has an anxiety attack but he told me about it first!

    difficult child knocked on my ofc door about 45 min ago, and when I opened it, he was in tears, his face was all red, and he was sweating. He said he was really, really depressed and didn't know what to do with-himself and he was walking around in circles. I took him downstairs and gave him an Impiprimine and...

    Refusal of medications

    I know that some of you here have dealt with this issue. difficult child is on Celexa (20 mg) and the psychiatrist wants him to start Risperdal (.25 mg) and he is refusing to take it. He says that it's the Celexa that is making him behave badly (because we put him on it in the first place because he was behaving...

    Help with 9 year old daugher

    Our daughter was recently diagnosed with ODD. She mainly displays the behavior at home and with the people who love her most – myself, my husband and my mother (she says she doesn’t misbehave at school because she doesn’t want to embarrass herself). However lately, it seems to be trickling into...

Talked with us for two hours and is totally on board. difficult child is having major anxiety (which is ironic because when we started this journey this was what I thought we were looking at and not the beehive that we have gotten ourselves into)...

    Fears coming to fruitation...

    Hi ladies. Yesterday was a bad day. difficult child stayed home from school because he was "sick". This rarely happens, because he is rarely sick. But we have all been sick, so I figured that maybe he was this time. I don't think that anymore. Anyhow, difficult child was great until I said that it was nap time...

    Hi, My 6 year old son really needs medications for inability to keep it together (freaking out). So they are starting him on Tenex. Last night was his first dose. This morning he is running to the bathroom because he feels like he is going to throw up and is weepy. Does this type of nausea go away...

    Update

    The NP-psychiatrist we were seeing was a huge disaster. After becoming severely depressed on Luvox, then Buspar, her response was, "Maybe medications aren't the answer." I spoke my mind, and then cried for 20 minutes after I got off the phone. We saw a new psychiatrist Thursday who we both really like and who was...

    Nightmares, anxiety, and lack of sleep for us all

    So after difficult child got home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC), he had a very rough time sleeping. I had to sleep on the bedroom floor and he could not sleep unless I was there. That lasted a week or more, and then gradually? It got better. About 3 weeks or so it started again. We saw psychiatrist, started on trazodone and he is...
