A Little Catch Up

4ml prozac, probiotics, melatonin, magnesium, D3 oil

It has been a long time since I posted. Ewen is still doing well and seems to regress a bit the last day or two before he takes his antibiotics again. He still takes 500 Zithromax once a week. We tried breaking it up into 250mg over 2 days but that didn't work for him at all, he got anxious again and even got some tics back.

He is still doing well in middle school although he is getting a B in math which is weird. He is in a grade ahead with math...in the advanced 7th grade math class. But it is still strange he isn't getting an A. He is getting an A in all his other classes though. The only reason he has a B is because he doesn't go back and check his work before he turns in a math test and makes dumb little mistakes that could have easily been caught with a check-over. But I don't want him to become like the overachiever on the Breakfast Club so I just say, a B is good too...but check your tests before you turn them in.

He is doing well with soccer and rides his bike all over town now with his friends. They go looking for Pokemon with Pokemon Go and he has a Starbucks card so he can get snacks when he is Downtown. He loves the freedom. I worry so much about him and check his location all the time on "find friends". I hate giving him so much freedom but he needs it so I swallow my fear and let him go. He can't bike downtown by himself though. He has to be with friends.

I need to tell our pediatrician that he has a hard time the day before his antibiotics dose. I wonder if she will tell us to give him 250 a day every day. I hope not. I don't want him on massive amounts. I was thinking that we could give it to him every 6 days instead of every 7. I will see what she says about that.

We tried to taper off the Prozac but he got anxious a couple of times and so I just slowly put it back up to his regular dose of 4ml's.

And we chug along and I am so thankful that he is doing well.  He is fairly happy and very amiable and sweet to me and people in general. His teachers love him. He is respectful and smart and laughs a lot so that is helpful for him in general.

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. ...
