Has anyone taken lexapro or other antidepressants felt nervous? Tense in their bodies? I mainly notice it more when still.....i.e. in bed. Input? THANK YOU.

Hello, My daughter (19 yrs old) just started on Lexapro this week. Just wondering if anyone else has used this drug or knows anything about it.

HI Just wanted to report on the latest medication trial for difficult child #2 who has Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), and is quite impulsive, distractable, and very inflexible when he doesn't get his way. Doesn't really fit the childhood bipolar diagnosis very well, closest thing seems to be what Smallworld talked about a while back of...

I am new here & desperately looking for help. My difficult child is 5 (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/asperger's, ADHD) and also has a congenital heart defect. He had 2 surgeries as a baby and we just found out this week he needs another open heart surgery. He is extremely anxious as it is and has a lot of trouble with sensory...

Since there is question lately (everywhere- not just this forum) if bipolar in children and adolescents is under- or over- diagnosed, I thought others might be interested in this. It's unclear to me if this form is used for him to gather statistical data for an upcoming book or if he (staff)...

R saw the psychiatrist again y'day. The one we see is completing her fellowship in pediatric/adolescent psychiatry and she said y'day that she had taken R's case file to her supervisor for further review. Her opinion is that he's overdiagnosed and that the bottom-line problem is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Her supervisor...

I know it could take weeks, months, up to a year, but could it take less than 48 hrs? The in-laws visited M last night and said he was talking a mile a minute their entire visit and they were "exhausted" by the time they got out of there. They said he was well behaved and he was focused (so...

I hate all of this I just wish there was some way to know what was wrong with our kids for sure!!! I am just convinced 100% that difficult child 1 is Bipolar... how it will develop I am not sure... As Dr. Pavuluri said to us she is a classic Bipolar case. All of the signs and symptoms and the genetics...

I have not posted for a while, but I guess I have a need to vent somewhere safe. My difficult child is so out of control it is eating me up inside. He is only 7 afterall... His new thing is that "i am not his boss, therefore, he does not have to...) The real kicker is that usually it is something for...

I was curious to know if any of you began taken medications because of the stress/depression of difficult child'S? Is this common? If yes, what kind of medications and for what? Depression/Stress? Thank you in advance for your response. ME AND THE BOYS

Apart again. Friday, I struggled to get up and to work. And in fact, didn't go. difficult child 2's teacher called before I got out of the house (she calls every Friday), and it was the same ol', same ol', but I found myself curled in a ball when the call was over. I stayed home, spent the day with...

Hi everyone, psychiatrist wants to try difficult child on Wellbutrin - starting at a low dose. He was tried on Zoloft 6 months ago and we got all of the negative reactions after 8 weeks on the medication that are warned. I have read a bit about Wellbutrin and it seems they have just about the same warnings for it as...

Hello all! I apologize for the time I've been away. I figured I'd pop in to check on how everyone was doing & share an update on us. M- We switched M over from Celexa to Zoloft about 2 months ago and the switch seemed to help a bit. He's a little more under control and less angry. Still...

I can't tell you all how glad I am to have found this wonderful comfort zone. I have a 4 1/2 year old son by my husband, and a almost 6 yr. old daughter from a sd (sperm donor). My son is my problem. I haven't had a chance to get him evaluated exstensively but was evaluated once but a learning...

Hi, remember me (the overnight change). We went for the second blood test for strep, and it was negative. I know the doctor is not up on PANDAS, and I still think he might have missed something. We have an appointment for a full physical next friday, and I am going to ask for a neuro workup...

My name is Sherri, I have three children - two daughters (grown, living on their own and doing great!) and a difficult child that will be 20 in June. He is my biggest blessing but also my biggest worry. Anthony is classically Autistic, non-verbal, violent, funny, loving, etc. Gathering from what I've read...

Have any of your kids had ANY problems with Buspirone? Our psychiatrist prescribed it for anxiety in difficult child 1 and he's having screaming outbursts at school, threatening to kill people, himself and others. He was EMS'd to the local psychiatric ER on Thurs. was perfectly fine, released, threats are probably...

Is anyone's difficult child on something for anxiety???? Probably should have asked earlier as I'm leaving for psychiatrist in 30 minutes and he really needs to do something to get Tigger's anxiety under control.

Just talked to the Dean of Students at difficult child 1's school. They're getting worried. He's always been a big talker when it comes to frustration. "I'm going to kill (insert professional here). Yesterday, during a meltdown, he blew up saying he was going to kill the bus driver if he didn't get to...
