[QUOTE="Andy, post: 269998, member: 5096"] Oh MidWest - once again so much like my difficult child. My difficult child was on Clonazepam last Winter for anxiety. We cancelled a 48 hr EEG because symptoms went away. He has been off the Clonazepam since June or July and is now getting some weird symptoms returning. We will have a 48 hr EEG scheduled for July of this year (unless we can prove that this is an urgency and they have emergency openings? I hope so though I don't know if it can work that way - we probably have to wait our turn - thank goodness the school year is almost over.) psychiatrist mentioned memory testing and is gathering info from the school. I noticed a large drop in comprehension from 4th grade to 5th grade (too early for this years test I think?). Teacher said the results are normal but I don't think anyone has looked at comparing from one year to the next to notice that drop. Last years score may be in normal not to worry about range on their own but it is a huge drop (at least 20 - 30 percentage points) between the two years. difficult child is stating he does not recognize things or people. Mornings seem to be the worst by far. I was gone this weekend and he melted tonight after holding everything in over the weekend. In the meantime, I think I am going to increase therapist visits to once per week again. It is getting to hard to listen to him complaining that his head is shutting down, he is going blind, he is loosing his voice, and he is dying. He might as well tell therapist about it instead of me. therapist will pass along to psychiatrist. I also need to set up the next visit with psychiatrist. It has been four weeks and I don't see enough improvements using the Flouxetine. The Xanax helped these last few days but I don't feel comfortable giving it to him every morning. However, knowing it does help may point us to another less addicting medication? I don't know. [/QUOTE]
