[QUOTE="SpunkyTaz, post: 187665, member: 2846"] Hello ya'll. I need some advice here. My daughter is taking Invega, Clonidine and Topomax for ADHD, Tourettes and ODD. She recently gained almost 10 pounds in about 2 weeks. i noticed a few times lately she has mentioned her legs hurt (growing pains or medication related I don't know) and she seems to be having trouble all of a sudden dealing with heat and exerting herself to much of a degree. Yesterday she scared me: We went to an air show and it was in the mid 80's to lower 90's. We did would sit in the shade for a bit and walk around in the sun for a bit, but with the kids (ds is only 3) we were doing our best to not get too much sun or heat. Long story short, we had only been there about 1 1/2 hrs and she suddenly started crying and said she wanted to go home and she didn't feel good. I asked her what was wrong and she said her stomache hurt, she kinda felt like she might throw up and her hands and fingers felt numb and wierd. When I looked at her face it was red and blotchy looking and her hands were fat making me think she has some serious water retention for some reason. I have a call in to her Dr right now and am waiting for them to call me back, but this really scared me. Anyone had anything like this happen on any of these medications? Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions? Thanks [/QUOTE]
