buspar

Kanga and Eeyore's therapist recommended that I get help for me. I'm taking her words to heart. I had a complete physical and passed with flying colors I am overweight but all my blood work is very healthy so the only recommendation was to exercise more. My doctor put me on buspar (sp?) and xanax as...

I have a nearly 7 y/o son with ODD, ADHD, and who knows what else...just wanted to add to the archived thread you may have a ...if: You feel better when he takes his medications! I'm sure I'll post a summary soon...first grade starts tomorrow. No surprise- he said he's not going. We retty much...

Ok...so, I'm working on getting an appointment very soon with the psychiatrist to review difficult child and his medications. I really want him OFF the Adderall and I want to discuss alternatives to adding an SSRI (like Zoloft) to his medication plan, which is what they wanted to add early this week. It's pretty obvious that the...

In trying to figure out what is going on with my 10 year old difficult child (Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), ODD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), chronic tic disorder) I several times stumbled across info on Tourettes that seemed to describe her, except it usually mentioned ADD/ADHD, which she doesn't show any signs of. Last week the psychiatrist who we met...

Hi. I'm new to this forum and was interested in anyone with experience with the courts and their kids. I have a daughter who's 13 and is BiPolar (BP), ODD, SAD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). We've been dealing with her issues for about 10 years. Her BiPolar (BP) is stable for the most part but her ODD is raging right now. She's been under...

Have any of you run into this? I'm sick of it! We have gotten so many judgemental comments from pharmacists and pharmacy technicians when we fill prescriptions I just want to start flipping them the bird rather than answer. These people have no clue what we are facing and ask, "HOW old is...

This is directed to those moms who have some experience with protocols both medicinally and other. Every time someone posts about a medication you hear tons of horror stories about bad experiences, few good ones really. I sure know what *hasn't* worked for many. Realizing that everyone's...

husband took difficult child 1 to the pediatric dentist for a regular cleaning yesterday morning. difficult child 1 refused to get in the chair for the cleaning, despite 45 minutes of both the dentist and husband trying to convince difficult child 1 to cooperate. Afterwards, difficult child 1 told husband that he didn’t like the dentist poking his gums, the...

Hi all. I spoke to my daughter today and she informed me that the jail has now put her on Ativan. She said that because of her behavior they transferred her to the hospital section of the jail/different from the psychiatric ward. She said it is an actual psychiatric hospital. I didn't know they...

Who here has had success with-putting their kid on an anti-anxiety medication? As you may or may not have read in another post of mine, I started my son (difficult child 2) on Zoloft, and he got worse than he ever was with-his meltdowns, rage, etc... the medication is definitely out of his system, but the meltdowns and...

I'm curious about how many of us, here on the boards, have started on anti-depressents after dealing with our difficult children? I was told that I have PTSD/depression. This was recently. I started taking Lexapro about a month ago. I was so depressed that I was just crying all the time. After about a...

I generally don't talk about the medications I try because there are always tons of bad experiences out there and I want to keep an open mind about our trial. So we are trying zoloft to see if it won't take the edge off of the anxiety and ocdness. It's been about 4 weeks now. I have decided today...

per therapist at partial. I was on the phone with her today because psychiatrist still, since Thursday, has not returned a phone call or email. She's about ready to get fired :angrygirl: therapist confirmed my thoughts - mania - rapid cycling. Racing thoughts - noisy, disruptive (although not intentional -...

Someone suggested this and I thought it was a good idea. We have to remember that everyone is different and that this isn't a "yes" or "no" on anything, just our own children's experineces. I'll start. Ritalin was my son's first medication and it didn't do anything much for him. He was then put on...

That was sarcasm for those that didn't pick up on it lol. Talked for about an hour with Dyl's therapist today. It's pretty obvious the Concerta isn't doing anything but making his anxiety worse LOL! LOL! Lucky me, eh? Did I say this was the last drug we were gonna try? Hmmm Don't remember...

Well of course psychiatrist called us back when we were gone!!! A week and a half after I had called her 3 times... Then her office called to cancel our apt next week and could only get us in today, I took it! psychiatrist apologized for not calling us back and basically said she is SO overwhelmed right now...

So we start Nuerontin tommorow... we are increasing K's Lamictal 100mg a.m. and 100mg p.m. That will be ther maximum amount. We are also starting Nuerontin 100mg a.m. and 100mg p.m. hoping to help with anxiety... we shall see. I found this on the Bipolar Child under treating Anxiety, it made me...

First, I have to say that I have found so much information and support in the last month, just from reading the forum. I am thankful to have one more resource in helping my child. Long story short, my son is 8 and was diagnosed early-onset bipolar disorder at age 5. He fit every symptom...

psychiatrist increased Remeron to 30mg cause it was starting to peter out already - the sleep benefit was. 15mg didn't leave her with daytime fatigue. Do you think the 30mg will? She also wrote a PRN script for Doxapine 25mg for sleep. She said she could take it with the Remeron. Won't that be a...

Me: Does that mean you don't think it's anxiety or that you can't deal with having panic attacks all the time? difficult child: I can't deal with having panic attacks all the time. Me: So does that mean you want to try medications? difficult child: Yes. I can't do this all the time. Me: Are you sure? I really want you...
