Update

(4ML Prozac, fish oil, 1/2 magnesium, melatonin, probiotics)

Middle school is going well.  Ewen isn't too stressed out by it and is actually enjoying it. He seems completely back to normal these days except for he is very spacey. That is the one thing that hasn't been resolved with the antibiotics. I wonder if it is from the Prozac?

I love that his school posts every homework assignment online and I get emails about it so I can make sure he isn't missing anything. He is in the gifted, 7th grade math class and said he loves it.

He's ridden his bike to school a few times but they don't have lockers at his school so his back pack has become too heavy for riding. Mike fitted a basket on to the back of his bike today so Ewen will be able to ride his bike to school again.

I'm feeling much better. I'm taking 20mg of Prozac and 300mg of Wellbutrin and 10 mg of Buspar (which is barely any).  My psychiatrist said that she wants me off everything in a year, but I really like feeling like this, not worried and miserable all the time. So we will see. It is amazing how the Prozac completely gets rid of the anxiety. My body likes it way better than Zoloft.

Well, that's it. Ewen is happy and healthy (although he is still taking major antibiotics). But he isn't dealing with daily mental illness anymore. The tics are rarely there although sometimes at night he huffs a bit. But other than that they are gone.

Still Chugging Along

It has been almost a month now since the terrible effects of the prednisone.   This morning I gave 50 mg hydroxyzine and 500mg of phenibut and she still said she wasn't feeling great at 11:30am. So I gave her 3 droppers of Valerian Calm, which seems to offer a small boost of happiness sometimes.   I stopped her 5HTP and replaced it with 10mg of fluoxatine. But yesterday she said she was having a hard time peeing. So if that happens again we will have to re-evaluate.   After she is comfortable on an SSRI I want to start the minocycline antibiotic, but I don't want to do that until I get her SSRI support up incase the antibiotic makes her feel worse I read minocylcine can have negative psychiatric effects for some people). I have maxed out her supports with the phenibut and the hydroxyzine and have nothing left to give if the minocycline does something weird neurological too.  So to support myself, I took 20mg of fluoxatine (prozac) last night and feel w...

Spring Break 2017 Update

4ml Prozac, 500mg Zithromax 3x a week, 1.5 mg melatonin, less than a quarter of Clonidine Ewen is doing well. Right now he is vacuuming and mopping the whole house (all 850 square fee lol) To earn an hour of screen time playing Overwatch. We have had a few hiccups. He got in major trouble in school for hacking into the computer and writing silly things on a class web page. He said he didn't realize he would get a referral and get in so much trouble since he wasn't hurting anyone and would never bully. He also dropped his grades because he was too busy having fun with his friends. So Mike and I had a meeting with his teachers. He now has a 504 plan since he has had lots of absences.  We are paying close attention so that we can make sure he completes his assignments. Last month he was having trouble with tics (mostly huffing) and anxiety and so his pediatrician put his Zithromax up to 500 mg every day for a full week. That completely helped and was amazing to get him back...

All 3 Doing Well

Ewen: 500mg Zithromax 3x a week, less than 1/4 Clonodine, 1.5mg melatonin, Vitamin D3, probiotics, magnesium, fish oil, 16mg Prozac 8-year-old sister: 3mg Zithromax daily, magnesium, half an Oncolplex (broccoli sprouts supplement), 1mg melatonin, magnesium, iron, D3, probiotics 14-year-old sister - 250 mg Zithromax daily, magnesium, Oncolplex, 1.5 mg melatonin, magnesium,  probiotics, D3, fish oil, 20mg Prozac Ewen and his 8 -year-old sister are both doing really well now. My youngest has her energy back, no longer says "I fee bad!" all day long...in fact she never says it at all. She sleeps through the night more often and is much happier. She is still a grump, but in normal portions with lots of happiness and giggles in between the grumps. She is back to some kind of normal. The story here though is my 14-year-daughter with autism. We started out giving her pretty massive doses of Zithromax and it was just too much for her. She got very emotional and exhausted too. ...
