[QUOTE="trouble, post: 471319, member: 12116"] Trying to work through a bit of a mystery here... and no idea if its a medications reaction, a real illness, injury, or symptoms brought on by anxiety. medications - risperidal and methylphenidate Symptoms - heart burn or similar, not hungry, had loose stools followed by not much output, no fever, walks hunched over and sits similar, definitely out of sorts (avoiding most activities, including stuff he loves), maybe a faster pulse (I can't catch pulse... he says its faster), just wants to be alone. Other factors - parent teacher interviews coming, almost two months into school (usually something has gone majorly wrong by now... but not so far), hitting a wall with several non-school projects (can't get stuff "done" due to unexpected problems) Says it started on the weekend - after going to the gym for a workout... did he overdo it there? Definitely he's been complaining about it since mid-weekend... and consistent on symptoms. Normally we'd go with "anxiety" as top choice - but he's only been on Risp. for 3 months and dose-stable for 2 months. He's been on M. "forever". Ride it out until parent teacher interviews on Friday? Take him to PCP? Call psychiatrist? (have appointment a week tomorrow for routine review) Take him to emergency? Thoughts, ideas??? [/QUOTE]
