Guanfacine Making Him Sad?

We are on vacation at the beach. Ewen has been taking 1/4 guanfacine at 8am and 4pm for the past couple of days and it has already greatly reduced his tics. But today I don't think he smiled once. He has been craving sugar, begging for sweets which he does when he is depressed. He is dissatisfied with every activity and is on his iPod all the time.

I don't know if the change is because of going down to 4 ml's of Prozac but I think that the guanfacine, even with this tiny dose, is making him depressed, even with the Prozac.

So we decided that tomorrow we would not give him the guanfacine and see how he feels.

Our options are:

1. stop the guanfacine
2. increase the prozac to 5ml's again and keep taking the guanfacine
3. just take the guanfacine at night, around 7pm so that his tics aren't as bad when he falls asleep. He said he likes how he is calmer and less twitch on the guanfacine. But he doesn't like that he feels "blegh". He is not happy on vacation and that makes me sad. He has no joy in him right now.

I'm thinking that we should put up the prozac to 5 ml's which is when he was finally joyful again and see if the guanfacine helps with the tics.

Before the guanfacine he was grumpy too when we went to my friend's birthday dinner. So I'm not sure what to do. I hate raising his meds, horrible stuff. But I also want him to be able to enjoy his life again. This is heartbreaking.

The Chair of the Pediatric ER Wrote Back!!!!!

Ms. ....... Thank you very much for bringing your son’s case and experience to our attention. First of all, I hope that Owen is still doing much better. I absolutely understand how devastating this could be in terms of a missed opportunity to appropriately diagnose. I have to say that in reading your email and updating my knowledge about the condition, I could see how it may be quite difficult to make a diagnosis accurately in an Emergency Department setting and I could see why things occurred in the manner in which they did. That said, I am very sorry that we let you and your family and your son down in this way. Our Pediatric Emergency Department are staffed by a group of very expert pediatric emergency medicine specialists trained in some of our nation’s leading teaching institutions who I was able to recruit here to ...........  to take care of our community. I know that the fact that we were not able to expeditiously diagnose your son’s condition caused a great deal o...

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...

PANDAS Flare - My Oldest, Phenibut and Hydroxyzine

 We joined an online doctors group out of Colorado that specialized in PANS/PANDAS. My youngest is doing great with their protocol and she is the reason we joined. My 18-year-old with autism joined and after we got rid of her gut parasites she got very anxious. Then they gave her prednisone and she lost her mind. Now almost 3 weeks post-prednisone we are still sludging through a frightening mess of anxiety, depression and OCD the wasn't there before. I have it too now since it has been so awful with my oldest. I have to take anxiety meds to cope and I can't sleep at night after the hydroxyzine wears off. I'm in worse shape than she is, but mine is situational where hers is medical. To keep her comfortable I give her  8am 50 mg hydroxyzine and 500 mg phenibut 1pm 25 mg hydroxyzine and 250 mg phenibut 6pm 25 mg hydroxyzine and 250 mg phenibut I intersperse valerian calm drops and cortisol manager supplements between the doses. And then I pray it holds until bed time since tha...
