seroquel

So I met with psychiatrist and difficult child yesterday, it was the first time I had met with psychiatrist with difficult child present. Before difficult child came in, I mentioned the tics and the leg movement. She agreed it could be the seroquel, and then tells me she increased the seroquel Wednesday and added 25mg in the morning and 25mg...

that may be working for your kid. What do you do when you've tried them all? Dylan's hyperactivity and impulsivity are skyrocketing. We had him 6 full days over the holiday, and every person that came in contact with him said he seemed "10x worse", "ready to jump out of his skin", "couldn't...

So difficult child 2 is working his way back to manic today. Actually starting seeing the signs on Thursday. Besides being incredibly obnoxious this morning he was giggling intermittently. At one point he said that everything was going too slowly. I said "is that because your thoughts are going fast?" and...

I haven't posted a lot lately, either my own threads or response to others because wee difficult child has been very, very "off" for a month or longer. I would say he qualifies as manic. Even sleep patterns have changed. A few times, we have had to use our emerency PRN medication to knock him down. Except...

Hi! I know I haven't been around lately (mostly in the Watercooler) but difficult child 1 is going south rapidly. They've added mood disorder not otherwise specified to his diagnosis of aspergers and learning disability. My husband (now officially known as AH) and I separated over Easter break and difficult child 1 prior to and currently is...

difficult child#1 has always been VERY particular about bedtime, and the anxiety it brings on. He started taking risperdal about 3 months ago, after trying abilify first for helping with anxiety, aggression and agitation symptoms. It really seems to be helping alot during the day, and he seems so "on"...

Hello~I have been coming here for several years and reading and learning. I feel like I know so many of you already. My signature should explain why I'm here. I work full time as a secretary on construction sites. My company has been fantastic with Dr. appointments, leaving early, coming...

difficult child 2 has been on Depakote for about 5 weeks now and husband and I definitely see improvement from the medication wash period and the first few days on the new medication. Things that are noticeably better: oppositionality, argumentativeness, tantrums, obsessions, irritability, aggression, anxiety. Things that...

Has anyone ever had a difficult child experience a drastic increase irritability and depressive symptoms while taking Risperdal? difficult child began Risperdal in late January to help with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-related anxiety. He started on the initial dose of 0.25mg at bedtime. They increased his dose to 1mg at bedtime a month ago...

Anyway, i hope everyone's weekend was good and calm, and difficult child's are smiling and happy. :) difficult child has a rash, i am calling doctor in the a.m. yet it's on the back of her legs.

Our son started lithium in April and things were so improved. We truly thought we found the main key to helping him but knew that he was still going to need a lot of support for focusing, organization etc. Well things were going really well with his mood and stability until Thanksgiving time. He...

So, we had our psychiatrist appointment yesterday after M was getting more frustrated and explosive/violent on the increased Tenex. psychiatrist decided to take M completely off the Tenex...cold turkey! I must have protested three or four times saying, "But I was told you had to wean off of Tenex..." and "Are you...

So difficult child has been acting increasingly hypomanic, bordering on manic. He has the pressured speech (which is non stop), racing thoughts, impulsivity, and irritability. I hate to add an ap back in, but I can see it is needed. We are starting risperdal tomorrow. Just .25mg, but psychiatrist and I are...

So Geodon is no longer working. Much like every other medication we've tried, it worked for awhile but he always ends up crazy again. He's back to being over-the-top anxious and paranoid and seeing shadows and hearing things and being e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y violent at the drop of a hat and constantly...

Hi, Haven't posted in a bit. The old dont have alot to add and definately not feeling positive. We have a whole lot going on at the homestead lately. 16 yo gfgsd had her first visit with bio mom in 2+years. 1 hour supervised by difficult child's therapist. Huge success. So far no big issues but, it was...

How much rozerum is normal for a child? I can't find a weight chart for it. Are there other types of sleep aides for kids besides rozerum and seroquel? Rozerum seems to work most of the time on my oldest difficult child, but my middle difficult child who usually falls asleep quickly is awake all night now and my...

Just took 2 weeks. I've dialled "9, 1...." but couldn't convince myself to dial the last 1 yet. The day is young, however. I *really* don't want to go for psychiatric hospital admit #3. I told him he was starting the Day Program tomorrow afternoon in the nicest, calmest, yet most happy, enthusiastic way...

Hi all. Not been here for a while. Has anyone here had any experience with Clozaril? Any negative side effects? I've just found out that my new partner is taking it, and also used to take Abilify too. I've done all the Googling I can possibly do...I;m just asking for people's personal...

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...
