Wilma Jenks Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 My child needs 2 b on some kind of medication 2 keep her stable, but they all (so far) make her so much more crazy? Has anyone experienced this?
MichaelTampa Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Happened with me, yes, the SSRI's drove me much crazier than I was. It happens with lyme disease, all those neuropsychiatric drugs are just true crap shoots. The psychiatric problems go away with treatment, trick is to get treated as quickly as possible, and do what you need to do to manage symptoms in the meantime.
Wilma Jenks Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Posted March 20, 2011 my child has been sick since birth. i am really late getting her help. i wonder if there is a chance to still get her help?
MichaelTampa Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 nope, not too late, plenty of people have done it after being sick even longer, lots of people don't know what's behind it until later
cobbiemommy Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Not sure how old your daughter is, but DS has been sick for around eight years and he is making slow but noticable progress. I would say it is never too late, but it will be challenging! Cobbie
kmom Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 You're so close now to seeing Dr. Beals. Hang in there as hard as it may be. I know it's tough but I have a lot of faith Dr. Beals can help her. I really think Lyme needs to be addressed. He'll be great at that. Make sure you tell him how these psych drugs make her worse. I'm sure he'll want to tweak all of that. I agree w/ everything that other people posted on this thread. Good luck.
Wilma Jenks Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks for the words of encouragement. I will post Wed., after my meeting with Dr. Beals.
bigandtall Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 generally there are some age factores regarding drugs which might collapse with your child`s age.. how old is ur kid?
