    Beginning to wonder....

    difficult child became increasingly aggressive over the 2 months he was on Risperdal. It came on gradually but steadily until I realized what was going on and told psychiatrist I wanted the Risperdal stopped. The aggressiveness went away. With the Prozac, it started as a slow but steady increase in defiance then...

    question about prozac

    So today, Tink beat up a kid. A boy in 3rd grade (she's in 2nd). The teacher called me and said that if she did not know it was Tink, she never would have believed it was Tink. She said she had never ever seen her escalate like that before. Welcome to MY world! Her new doctor had put her on 10mg...

    running out of ideas for medications - any suggestions?

    Hi everybody. Haven't posted in many months but I have a specific situation I'm concerned about, namely, my oldest, difficult child 2, is with a new psychiatrist who has a prettty good reputation among other docs and other professionals I've met through my divorce. She wanted badly to go off all her medications...

    No one has said this to us, but I know in my heart if she can't bring herself to get back to class, she is pretty much done Grade 8...she will be brought work and assignments to the office, they will mark her as best they can..she will graduate, but it won't be the same... she probably won't go...

    Medication Possibilities

    I was just wondering what possible medication combinations would work for a child diagnosed with anxiety (social, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and separation) and ADHD, AS signs and the possibility of underlying bipolar. I have to get back into the psychiatrist because the prozac just made him more oppositional and hyper so I didn't...

    First post; what you'd call a "difficult child" here, wanting perspective from parents like mine

    I'm turning 23 in October, arguably a difficult child. I found this forum by ccident but I've read a good half of the entirety of this section of the forum and its history. I just failed in killing myself last week and though I'm not a parent, I was hoping to maybe get something out of this or just rant...

    CSI:New York last night by any chance? If I had your number or email I would have called you about 10 minutes into the show...lol. It was about a young woman who ended up getting killed because of her connection with a group of vampires! They made reference to Vlad the Impaler and some of...

    Elijah day 8/meeting with doctor

    Day 8… February 24, 2009 I had a quick visit with Elijah today. We played Uno again for a few minutes. He seemed very restless. He tried to have me walk around with him, but the staff really don't like that. They like families to stay in one of the visiting rooms or the child's room, but...

    Teen daughter with ODD

    I'm at my wits end. My daughter is 14, she's had behaviour problems since she was small but they've gotten so severe and she's recently become violent to her older sister, threatening her life and threatening suicide. The screaming fits and temper have become a daily occurence, with our two...

    Prozac vs Paxil?

    My difficult child has taken Paxil since he was 10 years old. P. doctor #1 prescribed it for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and depression. He also took Clonidine. We tried to take him off of all medications. almost two years ago. But his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) returned and his mood was awful. He ended back on Paxil, eventually at an even higher dose but not...
