[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 123052, member: 1233"] I was wondering about Absence seizures also. Jessie has them, and we would never have found out if I hadn't pushed for some neurological testing before medication for ADHD. Apparently EEGs used to be standard before prescribing medications for ADHD. I remember a friend's little bro having them. He would keep the sticky things and then run all over the neighborhood with them on his head. (He was my 1st ADD experience, and OMG WAY hyper). Anyway, when you can, a call to a pediatric neurologist for this might be a good thing. NO ONE, even the neuro, expected to see anything with Jessie. And what they saw surprised us all, esp at the number of seizures she was having. Please do something just for you. And remember, it is NOT a bad thing to ask your doctor to help you with depression. I have been on prozac for many years, and for me it is a very good thing. Many parents of difficult children are so worn out, worn down, and just plain flat out used up, that if we were not depressed, well, we would be NUTS! Hope that came out properly. Take care of yourself first. If Momma ain't well, nobody is well. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
