Take It Through The Hives

So the doctor called me back and said that we should just keep give Ewen the Prozac and add Atterax through the hives, as it is an antihistamine and said that they might go away on their own. I reminded him that Owen didn't do well on the Atterax and asked if Benadryl would be OK instead. He said yes but that he would call me back after looking into it further. He said it is very rare for someone to get hives from Prozac. But that's Ewen for you. He said that Ewen's throat will not close up from the Prozac and he won't go into shock from it. I'm a little wary but he's the doctor so I should trust him.

I took Zoloft a long time ago and it sucked. It got rid of my anxiety but the side effects were miserable and it was very activating for me (made me feel worse until it finally started working). So I guess we will stick with the Prozac for now and keep giving Ewen the tiny doses and see if the hives go away on their own? When he was little he got hives after every bath for 2 months, then they went away. The child was allergic to water (we used organic baby soap with no dies or scents). So who knows.

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...

Friday and Saturday, May 27th and 28th

(4ml prozac 4pm, 250mg Zithromax 4pm, probiotics and magnesium 7pm) So Friday morning at 10am we sat down in one of the rows of white chairs in the pretty courtyard of Ewen's school. The flowers were blooming everywhere and the weather was perfect.  We were getting ready to watch Ewen's 5th grade graduation ceremony at his little private school that my parents were able to help send him to for the last couple of months of this school year. He still has 3 days of school left next week but they are pretty much gong to be "fun" days.  After his graduation ceremony in the mid morning, we all went out to lunch with my mom and then they went swimming at her house for a while. I told Ewen that we were going out to go get Pizza for dinner and he said he would rather stay home and do nothing. He ended up reluctantly agreeing to go though and we met some of ours and his friends there...the friends that go to Waldorf schools and don't really play video games.  But they wer...

Constant Distratction

(4pm Prozac 4ML's, no Clonodine for the past 3 days! 250mg Zithromax) Ewen went on his class trip and he and Mike were gone from Wednesday night to Sunday afternoon. The class trip ended on Friday and they went to the next hotel for Ewen's soccer tournament. He was pretty beat when he got home and asked to stay home from school on Monday. I said we would see. I let him sleep in this morning until 9:30am when he woke up, then I took him into to school at 10:30. I texted his teacher and she was fine with it. I even got him breakfast at Starbucks. But at 2:15 I got a phone call from the school that Ewen was't feeling well and I needed to come pick him up.  When I picked him up we got him the car and he told me he just needed a break from an overwhelming 5 days. This irritated me because he wasn't sick and he only had about an hour left of school that he didn't stick out. When we got home he went to his computer and I started to worry if he just couldn't handle no...
