seroquel

I'm reminded of the post about giving the cat a bath! LOL easy child/difficult child needs to get a blood test. 3 different doctors have tests they want to do and I want to do a food allergy test so we are combining it into one blood draw. There really is no option to not do it. difficult child has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and it is bothering...

Well Willy had big eposide with therapists and his sister when they were at the museum. He was fine when he left and the first hour. He had $1 left of his money he just had to take and spend it. Well after he bought his thing for $1 he got mad and said he wanted his $1 back he didn't want it...

This is a medication question so I'll brief recent medication changes for difficult child..(his next appointment with psychiatrist is Jan 12, or sometime that week- psychiatrist will not want a phone call before then.) Before Oct: Lithobid raised from 900 to 1200mg/day; depakote er remains at 500 mg/day; AP's had been tried prn but didn't...

I posted a few weeks about about my difficult child (5, HF autism with anxiety/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/ADHD) who is having open heart surgery in 3 weeks (we do have a date now, July 7). His behavior has been escalating for a few months now (he's in his bad cycle) and I finally got his pediatrician to consider medications. He's...

Hello everyone, I am new to this site. I think I qualify as an exhausted parent. My 14 year-old has suffered with and was treated for what we thought was depression for several years, but had a crisis this month that required hospitalization. When he was released, he was worse off than when...

difficult child seems hellbent on sabatoging any progress he has made lately. Yesterday, I walked in my door at lunchtime - didn't even have time to take off my boots - when the phone rang. God love caller I.D. - at least I had time to take a deep breath before I answered and received the request to...

Just spent the evening in the ER. About 6:45 pm, he came to me with drool bubbles and his mouth at an odd angle. I thought he was choking on something. He got his drink, and it all ran out and he was jumping up and down, not able to close his mouth. I looked and could see nothing and his...

Talked to M's new psychiatric hospital psychiatrist tonight by phone for about 1/2 hr to fill him in a little more and answer any questions he had and then listen to his medication suggestions for M. He wants to start M on an SSRI to treat anxiety. He does not think M is ADHD and I agreed with him. Of course, he doesn't...

they have also discovered he has depression and bi-polar so they started him on a new medication for his moods and all in hopes it will help stabalize him some he is now on seroquel at night not sure of dosage as of yet as they will do trial and error to see at what does things will get better for him...

I know some of you with difficult child's with extreme anxiety and a tendency to get physical have emergency prn's. We normally use the clonodine or tenex that *usually* knocks our difficult child out, but it doesn't always work. I am looking at taking difficult child on a trip with me (to see the baby). He is doing really...

Hi, i need some ideas bigtime. difficult child is having major social issues. yes it is a work in progress at this point. have appointment. with dr. on tuesday night to discuss medication's again since thorazine wans't an option for me. am waiting on call back from a therapist that i want her to see. we stopped...

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...

hi so it's our first day on prozac liquid. gave to difficult child almost 2 hours ago, she sped up like given upper's or something. started ripping stuff out of closets, pictures, anything she could find, tried to start a project than couldn't stay focused, heart rate is up, etc. so i called phydoc...

So psychiatrist is slowly trying to wean difficult child off her Geodon and is adding Seroquel to help with her anxiety. For years Geodon was the only medication we found that almost completely took away her manic episodes and it made her finally sleep. Without it she was highly unstable and sleeping only a couple hours...

I'm going to have to get a few things out in several different posts just because I don't think I can handle going thru all of it right now in one post. But he was put back on medications, due to his request to have a MH evaluation a few mos ago. I honestly think his intent was to try to get medications that would...

difficult child 2's mom took difficult child 2 to the psychiatrist today to *try* to get him on a mood stabilizer. He is currently taking 5mg Zyprexa and Welbutrin (don't remember the dosage). This is a different psychiatrist than he's seen, but at the same facility. The last psychiatrist (in the same facility) put him on Welbutrin because...

I'm going to make an appointment for difficult child for something to help her sleep. She's had trouble sleeping for years. Melatonin doesn't work, nor does benadryl. What do your kids take at night to help with sleep?

hey me again! :) alot of lost venting to make up for so, anyone out there have a manic anxiety ridden kid like mine who pulls all nighters each night or just goes to bed at 3 and 4 a.m. each night? how do you cope? i'm just wondering because we're out of ideas. i try to put her down, yet...

Tigger has been increasingly unstable for about two months now. His Depakote levels have been dropping. He has become moody and aggressive. And very, very sad. I was able to get an emergency appointment with the psychiatrist (thank goodness for cancellations). He upped the Depakote again and added...

Last 2 weeks difficult child has been actually doing well. (Which is partly why I haven't been on here that much, sorry.) Had an appointment with therapist yesterday and it was a good session. It was about us praising her on her good work and about helping her get through her anxiety with starting middle school...
