[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 53121, member: 3837"] difficult child I takes 80 mg Straterra, 200 mg Seroquel, and is supposed to take 200 mg of Zoloft. I think he looks awful with that much, so I keep it at 100 mg of Zoloft. He gets red circles around his eyes and just spaces out all day on 200 mg. The psychiatrist just changed the Seroquel to a sleep aide and I can't recall the name. Rozerum maybe? difficult child II takes 20 mg Foclin, 40 mg Straterra and 25 mg of Seroquel. His Seroquel has also been changed to the new sleep aide and Zoloft has been added, but I don't recall the dosage, he hasn't started yet. difficult child III takes 30 mg Foclin, 100 mg. Seroquel and was also just changed to the new sleep aide and Zoloft was added, again unsure of the dose, he'll start this week. Our solution right now to the stealing was to remove everything from their room except beds, dressers & clothes. This makes items of interest easier to spot. I think this time was impulsive because they did it in a moments notice, but last weeks was planned out between the older two. Since the first time they were caught, they've been in our line of sight or had a clear room, so they did it quickly and threw it under the bed for later. Other than clearing their room, they've had to be in the same room with us, but this is just too much for us. We have to have some breathing time. I do the same thing as mentioned about the lying, I ask yes or no questions and tell them it is a simple yes or no question and to answer it this way and I'll ask for more info if needed. The only thing I've noticed on this, is the youngest difficult child pauses to answer when he's lying and if he's not lying, speaks up immediately. The acting out started before they new about moms rights being terminated, but maybe they had a feeling or maybe they over heard something. We had waited to tell them until after her 30 days to appeal was up, but found out a week later that she had requested a new trial and was denied on the last day of the 30 days, which now extends her appeal time to 90 days. We waited to tell them so that there wasn't a possibility of change, and now there is. I hope for their sakes, nothing changes, because I'm not sure they can handle anymore uproar. They have not seen her since Aug 2005. [/QUOTE]
