[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 386754, member: 1631"] SW-psychiatrist did mention the tiredness and the possible weight gain. For easy child/difficult child the weight gain won't be horrible-she is 5'3" and weighs only 96 pounds. She said she is not concerned about the weight gain (we'll see if she still says that if she does gain weight). As for difficult child, I really hope the Clozaril works because I'm not sure we have any APs left to try-he's tried most of them! We will start weaning her off the Zoloft today. psychiatrist mentioned that with the Remeron she doesn't have to go so slowly off the Zoloft because it helps against the side effects. For now he wants to keep her on the Welbutrin because he said that will help with waking up in the morning. Hope-Thanks-he is a great psychiatrist. Originally we had a 4:40 appointment scheduled but then he was the one who said we would probably need more time (I had briefed him at difficult child's appointment a week earlier) and suggested the later time so he knew it would be a long one and scheduled us anyways for that time! Sharon-Thanks-it really was a good appointment. I haven't seen easy child/difficult child laugh so much in an hour's period in a very long time-that alone made it a great appointment. Glad to hear it worked so well for your difficult child! I'm glad to hear that the Remeron has worked well for all of your difficult children! More than the weight gain I worry about the tiredness because easy child/difficult child is always tired and already sleeps so much. However, psychiatrist said that if we let him know that she is really tired he will increase the medications. He said it's strange but that as you increase the medications past 30 mgs the sleep issues actually go away. Right now he is starting her at 15 mgs. Luckily she doesn't have school for 4 days and it was the end of the quarter so she doesn't have any hw so if she sleeps a lot the next few days it's o.k! [/QUOTE]
