trileptal

I don't know where to turn. My easy child has turned into my difficult child 2. Her older brother (difficult child 1) has ADHD and has always been my challenge. I thought once he graduated from high school it would be smooth sailing with my daughter. I WAS WRONG!!! Recently we have discovered that she has smoke marijuana...

I'm new to this site and have never tried a support group type thing. I'm really at my wits end. When my difficult child's mood swings into the mean version of him he explodes, argues over everything, hits things, etc. What frustrates me most is when he refuses to follow any direction. He won't even go...

Apparently he was getting into an altercation with another boy and a staff guy intervened to stop it from escalating. difficult child punched the staff guy in the nose. She...

I was just told by my prescription coverage company that for now on I must give my child the "new" generic of trileptal or pay $125.00 per month for medication. For the past 2 1/2 years I paid $10.00 for three months-- Supposedly they just came out with a generic and coverage applies to the...

Hi - I'm new to this - obviously I haven't signed my profile the same as everyone else. I'll figure it out! I'm researching diet and the Feingold Program for my son who is 10 and has been diagnosed with a mood disorder, probably bi-polar and has all the symptoms of ADHD but no medications have...

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...
