difficult child has missed his detention (for kicking a girl in the behind) a few times now. I don't know how to get him to go short of taking off early from work and dragging him there, kicking and screaming. I also got an email from his math teacher today... Ms. Ehlena, I want to let you know of an...

Ugh ugh ugh! Eeyore has been on Geodon for 4 days and he woke up this morning with tongue thrusting. So frustrated...now he can't take Risperdal (lactated) or Geodon (td) and insurance no longer covers Abilify or Seroquel and our doctor hates Zyprexa and won't even talk about the old school APs...

Hardly know where to start. psychiatrist apparently finally saw the whole big picture today! History: Abusive Biodad and difficult child 1. difficult child 2 was diagnosis'ed BiPolar (BP) at age 9 (not 'official on paper'but treatment for it anyway) due to behaviors and mood swings, also put on IEP for emotional lability and dysgraphia. Put...

So psychiatrist looked at difficult child's tongue and thinks that the little movements he sees around the edges may be tardive dyskinesia from Ablfy. Anyone has seen anything of the sorts? When he's stressed, tired, manic he starts moving his tongue about checking out missing teeth etc. Says can't stop. And I...

Miss KT has been complaining recently of tics, so her doctor took her off the Risperdal two days ago. I think I'll be needing a helmet and flak jacket. Cleveland, here I come! Anything I should be watching for with this medication change?

We are finishing up our awesome IEP report!!! But since we have been having lengthy discussions with Ms. J (K's teacher) she has unfortunately seen K start to fall apart. School is going on 4 weeks now. I think the School thought at first that we were asking for a lot. Because K presents so...

How is your difficult child today? Are things a little calmer? Just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you . . .

so, difficult child has put on alot of weight due to seroquel and I feel badly for her. Nothing is fitting the right way, i had to go to the mall to get a few more things, stretch pants, sweats. Jeans aren't making it due to her stomach whichis huge at this piont. I'm kinda disgusted, it's the way it is...

This is psychiatrist's reply- "Immediately give her cogentin 2 mg, and give it each morning. Drooling, rash, the fidgety feelings will go away. Please go to local doctor. I cant treat you from a distance. It is not fair on both of us " What do I do??? Immediately??? Does that mean take her to the...

hi!! :) So, difficult child has tics from her seroquel. I've noticed in her hands, she keeps twitching them seperately, it's hard to explain what she does. It's almost constant now though. started small and now it's quite often. doctor says dont make big deal about it, just let's see if it stops. It's...

Hi! He's on 8 mgs. 4 in the a.m. and 4 in the p.m. All was right with the world, but things are changing. Drooling, aggressive behavior is returning, stiff legs, back and now shoulders, "droopy", seems sedated. The anxiety is creeping back in as well. My question: Anxiety seems to be the...

Hello Everyone, I am new to Forums and Support Groups, infact this is my very first post to a forum ever :) I did a lot of reading before joining and I think this is a very helpful place.

Ugh, I knew today was weekend is going to be a repeat of last week, if not worse, I can tell by how he was tonight.

Ok...back from another visit with DS at the psychiatric hospital and have some concerns about the Risperdal he's on. He's on day 2 1/2 of it and he's exhausted. Visiting hours start at 6 pm and the kid that normally gets to sleep around 9:30-10 pm against his will is ASKING to take a nap. He's like a...

Hello, I have been away for awhile and need advice. My difficult child is diagnosed with bi-polar. He has currently been taking Abilify 10.0 mg 1x/day and Clonidine 2 times/day (1/2 pill in am and 1 and 1/2 pill at bedtime). He continues to struggle with moods,oppositional behavior and has started some new...

I have a question? Well K started Risperdal in 12/06 a low dose... the dose was .50mg starting, she went up to 1mg. It was Difficult Child'd on 3/7/07 due to: tongue thrust, drooling, movements-abnormal to her regular ones. Increased agitation. Overall just bad side affects... oh and the weight gain. So...

At the age of 4 my son was diagnosed with ADHD, Mixed Developmental D/O, and Adjustment D/O with Mixed Emotional Features. He has tried all the basic ADHD drugs and none worked so his doctor (well thats what his shingle said) decided to try psychotropics Respirdal,and now Abilify. I fell into...
