    • Close Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

      SAHM of two kids. Daughter is 9, has ODD. Son is 6, has ADD. Son is improving, I see progress. Daughter was at her worst one year ago. Seems to have fallen back into that area, and I am at my wits end. Time outs don't work. Any sort of corporal punishment just makes her mad. Husband says I need to be more consistent with my consequences and command respect. Um, ok.

      Treatments

      Risperdal Working / Worked
      Initially helpful. Not so sure now.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Initially worked wonders. Recently increased dosage after a serious back slide in behavior. No benefits yet
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I'm 36, married, with 2 children. 9 year old has severe ODD. 6 year old has ADHD. I have ADD, myself. This, added to depression, coupled with my "high maintenance" kids can really throw me for a loop. Trying so hard to gain control over my life (at least be on time, and less forgetful). Wish my husband understood I don't choose to forget or be disorganized... sometimes it's an achievement to get up and get a shower.

      Treatments

      Meditation Working / Worked
      Really got into Yoga. LOVE it!!! Cost prohibitive now to join any classes. Never a quiet moment to do it at home. Seriously
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Makes me feel "fake" sometimes! But, other times it helps to snap me out of it
      Prozac Not Working
      It made me nuts. Insomnia, headaches.... AAAGH!
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Helps to know it's normal to think or feel this way when depressed
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Seems to help. Cringe at the thought of not using it
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Helps when anxiety and panic set in.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I'm 36, married, 2 kids. I have ADD (my father does, too.... but doesn't admit it, hehe, he is in his 80's) My 6 year old son has ADHD. My husband is TOO organized. In contrast to my flighty nature... it makes for a hectic house!

      Treatments

      Adderall Working / Worked
      as long as I can remember to take it!!!! Now, where'd I put it???
    • Open Panic Attacks

      Treatments

      Klonopin Working / Worked
      although it works for me... I need to take more of it for it to be effective. Thankfully, less often, though.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      when I manage to find a free moment
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Why isn't EVERYONE in counseling?
      Rescue Remedy Not Working
      didn't notice a thing... but maybe I didn't give it a good chance
      Xanax Not Working
      Did not like the way I felt when I took it. Too loopy!
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      helps with OCD and depression.... not sure it helps panic attacks.
      Yoga Working / Worked
      I love YOGA!!
