celexa

I found this site searching for information on risperdal. My son takes that and has gained weight he can't stop eating and he can't sleep. I want to take him off of it but I am not sure of the risks and benefits. He also takes concerta and zoloft. I honestly want to take him off everything and...

Hi all, I have been a lurker for a little while, but now it is time to come out of the shadows, I guess, as we could really use some help. I am putting background in black, and questions in red, so skimmers can get right to the point. I think this will be a long post. He is 13 years old, 7th...

difficult child missed Thurs, Fri, and Monday from school because she was sick. She was to go back today. She had a major panic attack today - unlike any I've seen from her in quite a while. Sigh. Two steps forward, one step back. Over all, she is doing much better. I just hate that this still sneaks...

husband stunned me today. I guess it's the miracle of modern mood stabilizing medicine at work, because a year ago, not to mention 10 years ago he was a very different man. difficult child 1 has been staying up really late (starting to wonder if it's because we changed to Celexa...). He was up until probably...

OK-- This probably sounds dumb... but you know how sometimes the pieces finally "click"....? Like a lot of kids, difficult child is really into "Twilight"... but in my opinion, difficult child has been a little toooo into Twilight. We know she's been experimenting with cutting... We know she's been fantasizing that's...

my difficult child will turn 10 friday. she was diagnosed by a child neuroligist as having add & odd. she has been on daytrana 20 mg since she was 7. things had been working well. but lately she has been very oppositional since april. i have started to question the diagnosis. my thoughts have been...

I knew I was in for one of those nights the minute difficult child got home from school yesterday. He came in and was all in a lather about the fact that he had alot of homework. I asked him what he had and was told, "It's none of your business. You don't have to tell me everything and I don't have to...

difficult child 1 used to take Lexapro for his Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). It helped with his needle phobia TREMENDOUSLY. But... We had lots of problems with him when stimulants wore off in terms of his over-the-top oppositionality, defiance, mouth, tantrums, yada, yada, yada. Door slamming, slashing a screen, running off...

Now, we've established that Zyprexa at bedtime doesn't work for kiddo, right? Right. Hyper, leg pains, etc. She's also eating like a lumberjack, even when she's full she's still hungry. Called doctor's office. They want to cut back the Zyprexa to the previous 5mg taken at bedtime and add Abilify in...

OK-- So this am I contacted the school and verified that difficult child was, indeed, IN SCHOOL yesterday in the detention room.... Also verified that difficult child has been skipping classes to have sex on school grounds and DID have a pregancy scare (though we have been unable to verify her partner/s--the boy...

I found your first post buried in a very old thread and decided to post it in it's very own thread so you get a proper welcome. :) Here it is: hi my name is michael and im a father of 6 year old,i have never done this before (threads) but last night i realized i cant do thins anymore. he has...

I'm sitting here tonight trying to clear my head of all the stuff related to my dad's impending demise, and suddenly I get an automatic email from the bank stating that there has been suspicious activity on husband's credit card and that he has to call to verify the charges and then they will...

The current medications and vitamins are working GREAT!!! difficult child states he if feeling better for the most part. The "weird" feeling is going away. I am seeing a happier more confident kid. He is not as clingy and in fact has joined the other 12 yr old boys in searching out ways to be...

Hi all, It's Friday the kids are with their Dad this weekend and I feel like I am coming apart at the seams.Jack is stable for now.I am just on the verge of tears all the time.I went to the Dr. lost 7 pounds and he put me on cymbalta to manage stress.I don't even know what to say.We have taken...

He is provocative, oppositional, loud, annoying, hostile when confronted, obnoxious, irritating... did I say annoying? :frowny: And oppositional? I don't know WHY my buttons are so easily pushed this morning, but difficult child 1 has been exceptionally oppositional and obnoxious this morning. Perhaps he...

I'm a father and am the custodial parent of my teen daughter (15). Since 6th grade I thought she had ADD and she has been on almost every medication for that over the years. She has always been defiant but it keeps getting worse. I'll try to summarize her problems over the past 2 years: She went...

Friday night difficult child had a rash on back of both legs near buttocks. No itching, just "V" rash - skin color raised. Bedtime so I just say, "Hmmm let's see if it is still there tomorrow." Saturday morning rash is gone in that location but there is a rash on back of leg near the ankle. I put cream...

I have come in here to escape, only to be followed by difficult child who is now standing at the counter with her back to me crying. She can't do anything. She can't go to school, but she doesn't want to do homebound or homeschool. She can't learn, but she doesn't want an aide and doesn't know how she...

Today I went and saw Carson's doctor. Told him the refusal to do work, hiding under his desk, moodiness, anger...even a little suicide-ish comments ("I hate my life" "I wish I was dead" "I would throw myself off a cliff if we had one" and "I'm the King of Idiots") were still happening. Carson is...

i have a 13 year old daughter who since the age of 3 (she was sexually abused by her real dad who went to jail and lost his parental rights) has had problems every since with mental health issues. She has had every service you could ever think of and loving parents and family that have run out...
