clonidine

Well, the doctor is a neuropsychiatrist. No testing was done, mostly a consultation. The tests that would show if kiddo is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), etc., still have to be done by someone else. Wants to know why SpEd isn't testing for it when SpEd is doing the IEP on emotional disorder. SpEd suggested I get full...

I have a five year old son who is completely out of control. I hate to admit this but there are times I seriously either want to send him away forever or just run away myself. I'm exhausted. So is my husband. We feel like we've tried everything and nothing is working. Just a little background...

difficult child stayed home today with-a stomach ache. Long story short, he started refusing to go to baseball opening ceremonies and I told him he HAD to go. He put on his uniform and stalled for 1/2 hr, making us late, so by the time we got there, all the teams were on the field and someone was singing...

Ok...all I will say is that we had a really GREAT week that ended BAD! To tired to explain all, used up all my energy to fight back difficult child! And all of this because he had the thought stuck in his head that he wants to rent a horror dvd and we said no!!!! First the verbal abuse then holding and...

The inpatient facility is going to trial 0.05mg 3x/day of Clonidine beginning tonight. He is currently on 1500mg Depakote and 600mg Seroquel. The psychiatrist told me it can help with hyper arousal, like when he is coming against something when he isn't getting his way. He said it is an alpha 2...

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...

I picked up difficult child at his girlfriend's house to go to his monthly PO mtng. First of all, he was supposed to come straight home on the bus, and instead, he took a different bus to her house because she'd been home all day, so he brought her math homework over. He's supposed to come straight home. I told him...

My son(4) was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. We discussed different methods to approach his treatment. one was to treat him for the anxiety first, in hopes that it would help us to recognize what causes it, and how we can help him to deal with it. Then in turn, we can help with other things...

This is going to be a really long break with difficult child. He is so far off. Yesterday was really difficult at my dad's (although he and his wife handled difficult child really well). He was so rude that husband and I were so embarrassed. Thankfully Dad and his wife understand. He is constantly bugging husband and/or me...

I want Occupational Therapist (OT) know if anyone feels like I do, and how you deal with it and not take it out on difficult child. difficult child is on clonidine in the evening, but really it comes down to his personality. I've talking about it before. There's just a constant need to argue, Its not that he's being specific (like an Aspie)...

Hi, I am new to posting and appreciate any support. My 9 yo son is taking medicine to treat ADHD for the first time. He has always had a very pleasant, positive attitude and gotten along well with his brothers. However since he has been taking intuniv (now on 2mg at day 17) his has 1-2...

difficult child has been taking the bus straight to his girlfriend's house and avoiding coming home until later. One of those give him an inch issues. He still hadn't finished his second English paper, and was supposed to do math, as well as practice NILD on a chalkboard at home. So I decided to give him natural...

He sounds very different. He calls several times a day, but sounds different in a good way. Now I don't know if this is honeymooning or him trying to get out quicker, but he sounds more...I don't know - sure of himself? He says that he feels happier. He mentioned that there were a few fights...

I have worn patches for pain before and I have known a mom who had a child on the clonidine patches and we both put them on the backs. Now my patches were worn for three days so I also used a cover to go over the patch to keep it on because it had a tendency to fall off. If his do to, you...

Carson started taking Celexa on Monday of last week. Friday was his first "good" day at school. He got most of his work done in class. He didn't show defiant behaviour. He didn't hide under his desk. He didn't show anger or have "attitude". He had a good weekend. Told his 10 year old sister he...

After the nosebleed and heart palpitations on lithium, difficult child, understandably wanted to go awhile with-no medications at all. I told him that was understandable. But he's been doing so well because of the medication, not in spite of it. He doesn't understand that side effects can still occur with-something that...

I'd like to know any experiences you all may have had or can offer on the following: Invega- how long did it take to see any results? What were you using it for? Were are currently using it for mood stabilization and are not quite a month into it and I figure it's going to take time to get to a...

I have this beautiful child whom both my husband and I adore, he has been in and out of Dr's offices here in Alaska. Needless to say we just don't have the help that the lower 48 has to offer. He was diagnosed with ADHD several years ago, started on Ritalin...total nightmare after 2 weeks. He...

Yesterday was our first day after having clonidine and no allergy medication's. He did fantastic except for about an hour after dinner. He tried to start misbehavior, but after I calmly talked to him he settled down. Last night he woke up again in the middle of the night afraid. I can understand...

That boy is upset and scared! I am a little too. So I have given the medication history how many times now? Now the admitting doctor just called and asked for everything. He said he thinks the concerta is causing the aggression and he wants to start Depakote. I respectfully said no, not right...
