seroquel

Hi! He's on 8 mgs. 4 in the a.m. and 4 in the p.m. All was right with the world, but things are changing. Drooling, aggressive behavior is returning, stiff legs, back and now shoulders, "droopy", seems sedated. The anxiety is creeping back in as well. My question: Anxiety seems to be the...

http://www.sptimes.com/2007/07/29/Worldandnation/The_atypical_dilemma.shtml More and more, parents at wit's end are begging doctors to help them calm their aggressive children or control their kids with ADHD. More and more, doctors are prescribing powerful antipsychotic drugs. In the past...

took difficult child's medications by mistake this morning!!!! I had just finished getting both our medications ready and got myself a bottle of water. Had his medications in my hands and then in my mouth when I happened to look down to see my medications in a container right next to them-yikes!! Thankfully I hadn't swallowed and...

Hi, I've been off the site for a little over a week now. partly because I just could not get it to respond, it just wouldn't load properly ( anyone else experience this?). Secondly, We have had a crazy difficult time, which included my daughter and I fleeing house last Wed. heading to office of...

We met with-him this afternoon and he does not think that what difficult child experienced was from the lithium. He thinks something led up to it. He said that an agitated response from lithium would be more prolonged and ongoing. He also wants us to start using Seroquel as a prn instead of clonidine, and only...

We are having such trougble with my daughter not behaving and she is impossible to deal with. Abilify has not worked at all. In fact it made her start being violent with classmates and I finally got it out of her system and the violence stopped. She is just totally moodly, irritable and...

Hi! I'm new to this forum, but could use some help in knowing whether a medication such as clonidine would be helpful to my nine year old daugher with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). She took risperdal for six months, and her behavior showed real improvement, but she started to develop breasts in a kind of precocious...

So difficult child has been gone for a month. If anything he is worse, and I don't think the Seroquel is working. I had a blunt and frank conversation with family therapist last night, she caught me at a time when my armour was down (I had been crying for hours, just so sick of all this and found out easy child...

The inpatient facility is going to trial 0.05mg 3x/day of Clonidine beginning tonight. He is currently on 1500mg Depakote and 600mg Seroquel. The psychiatrist told me it can help with hyper arousal, like when he is coming against something when he isn't getting his way. He said it is an alpha 2...

difficult child has been taking the bus straight to his girlfriend's house and avoiding coming home until later. One of those give him an inch issues. He still hadn't finished his second English paper, and was supposed to do math, as well as practice NILD on a chalkboard at home. So I decided to give him natural...

hi! went to the dr. with-difficult child today about the medications. told him seroquel seems to be doing nothing at this point. so, i gotta wean her off the seroquel and increase the zyprexa. he said give her 5mg at bedtime. i said what is the pt of that? I said i talked to my friends "here" and that will do...

Boy oh boy has it been a LONG time since I have had to post anything here... B2 is just spiraling out of control these days. He is starting to show signs of regression again as far as being physically agressive towards me and B1. We have been having some issues over the past month or so, but...

Hi everybody, this is my first time on. I am 51 years old, stay home dad do to disability( Progressive Charcot-Marie-Tooth) and have a 12 years old child with autism. My son has become very aggressive since we took him out of risperdal. He gain a lot weight and my wife and I were very concerned...

Hi, I put difficult child back on Strattera (7 weeks ago) for the 3rd time in 2 years. I need help deciding if the side effects are worth the benefit. His sleep and eating are undisturbed by this medication, this is a big deal to me as he is a great eater and decent sleeper, so I hate to mess with those things...

Okay.....have not been here for awhile....Aug at least, and ALOT has gone on since then. His psychiatrist had put him on Haldol as one of his medications and bascially he went psychotic on that anti-psychotic. He was hearing voices, threatening not only students at school but also teachers with threats...

Gfg15 was hospitalized July 25 to July 30. Her last hospitalization was in April. Both times she went because she said the voices she hears are telling her to kill herself or hurt herself. This last hospitalization she reported some feeble attempts at hurting herself - 1) tried to 'smother'...

In my absence at the Ohio shindig, it sounds like difficult child 2 has continued to have sleep issues. He called me at the airport at 6:30 this morning to ask when I'd be home, to tell me he'd made me brownies last night (:happy:), and to inform me that he never went to sleep :surprised1:. My sister in law had...

Hi: My son somewhat recently had his medications changed to place him on Risperdal. He was previously on Depakote and Clonidine. The psychiatric felt that Risperdal would adress his aggresive behavior better than the Depakote. When I read up on Risperdal though, it says it can increase agressiveness 26% of...

Woo hoo! That's the best news I've heard in a long time. We picked up difficult child after lunch today. First, we talked to the soc wkr. He was American and had no accent. :) He said difficult child's notable characteristics are that he is extremely impulsive, very stubborn, and that his intelligence was way up...

If the Illinois legislature doesn't get their collective butts in gear THIS WEEK, my children will lose: *their psychiatrists *their therapists *their prescription drug coverage *the autism family resource center *half of their adoption subsidy Kanga's Residential Treatment Center (RTC) should be fine as that is...
