you know, i sincerely apologize. this is not who i am. by no means should i have done that and i know this. been a little on edge lately with a personal issue. no excuse. i do hope you accept my apology and we both can move on.
We've all gone through that. Fully accepted and all good on my end. You've always come across not anything like this in the past so I was surprised.
Buckeye Ranch does indeed have access to psychiatric help. I imagine that's what Padme needs and the 10 minute meeting we had with her pediatrician, who then prescribed Prozac, was not enough. The psychiatrist at Children's Hospital decided Prozac wasn't right for her and discontinued it.
I've still got a few days worth of posts to look through, so I imagine this has already been addressed.
And that is certainly one of the things I'm considering as this all plays out. This situation is nowhere near decided. One of the factors I'm considering is the affect it has on my wife and kids
Wow, you really are a complete Richard. Welcome to my ignore list, which isn't easy to get on if you're not a DSP alias.Chemical X said:
Speaking of meds. In the event that she is rxd something for anxiety/depression, I'd stay away from effexor. So many complaints that if you don't take it the same time each day, you'll feel fluish/ill. Many women take this to help with hot flashes as well. When they decide to either ween off of it or transfer to another one, they feel awful for a couple or so weeks.
I tried to help a child that needed it. I tried to a keep a child from being put into the foster system. I love this kid like a daughter, and I will continue to do everything I can to give her a better life.
I agree. I was on Effexor for quite a while and it messed up my body permanently. Even after being off it for over 5 years I still get muscle twitches and sometimes a full-body twinge. Like an electrical shock contracting all the muscles in my body. It's hard to explain, but it's very disconcerting and it's one of the listed side effects of Effexor.
lol, you have your hands full. Anybody who would be offended is a little off their rocker.
Wow. I know someone who had such reactions as you by trying 50mg of zoloft.
This is definitely off topic, but have you checked with a doctor about this? I won't say it's impossible to have those long term side effects after stopping, but the odds are low. Really low. Even low odds mean somebody gets stuck holding the short straw, but those are side effects I'd expect with some medications prescribed for different ailments.
Honestly no, I've never mentioned it to my doc. It started while I was still taking Effexor and I researched it. In the documentation it's listed as a possible side effect, and that it may become permanent even after you've gone off the medication.
Padme is fundamentally against taking meds because her mom and dad both are drug addicts. She hears "drug" and is immediately turned off of it. It's difficult to even get her to take Sudafed if she's stuffy, or Tylenol if she has a fever.
Hopefully that ranch will have groups with other kids her age for her to be able to share with someone her age. Groups are just as important as the 1:1. If she's to try another med, pairing up with a kid already on it can help her see it's not the same thing she saw with her parents.
While that's a challenge for prescription medication, it's really good news in terms of hoping she'll stay away from recreational drugs and peer pressure. Hopefully she views alcohol the same way.
Yes," Intensive Family-Based Services" is what they're signing us up for. Basically, a therapist will come to our house to talk not only with Padme, but with the rest of the family as well. 3-5 hours of counseling a week, as opposed to the 1 hour she's getting now. It sounds great and I think she's in desperate need of it.
hmm, that makes it stickier. and she isn't wrong. i guess it is a good thing for her to be aware of her family history and be cautious to get near it, but this is where a good treatment team will be so key. Great job with that pediatrician and glad you got some support with that.
that makes sense. I assume they are qualified and have got the whole training in eco-systemic family therapy. it will be a good way to support you and your family while Padme gets used to talking out her feelings
Yep. Not to say it can't be a side effect of the medication, but this sounds like RLS. That's not curable per se so even if it's not from the former medication you're still somewhat screwed, but there will be some things you can do if it's RLS. I think you should bring this up to your doctor. You might be that unlucky person who gets the side effects but there's a reasonable chance this is something else that just coincided with your stopping the medication.
That must have sucked bug blue donkey balls. (Can you even say that here?) I'm so glad you found a new job.
Yes because the balls are blue which implies the donkey is not sexually active. Considering we don't allow donkeys to marry, chastity is the only the FBG approved lifestyle for donkeys.
keep your head up man. sounds like things are turning around for you, so stay positive, and always remember the positive influence you are making on this girl's life.
please, if you're serious call the Suicide hotline - 1-800-273-8255 - and talk to someone right now
