Ok..difficult child went to the doctor the other day, after about 6 months. I asked about the evaluations mentioned here. It is a big medical complex and they do all those tests, but I was told no need to do that, it would be a waste of money. he has shown that he CAN be good. He increased Lamictal to 200mg.'s, He added lexapro, due to his high level of anxiety. The first night he took it he woke up with a stomach ache which lasted the entire next day. he didn't sleep. Second night, restless and awake most of the night. Today, not much for appetite, looks very tired, but not sleeping.
His diagnosis from the doctor is Bipolar not otherwise specified, ODD, depression/anxiety. He gets a lot of migraines (as do I. and easy child) so the neurologist put him on topamax (25mg) as a preventative measure. Takes Midrin and Advil when he gets headaches. Use to be a daily thing, now maybe twice a month.
Just wondering if Lexapro would cause the stomach issue, and lack of appetite as well as the not sleeping? If so, does it go away?
