Tuesday May 3rd, Good Morning

Prozac 4.1 ml, Condone 1/8 a pill, antibiotics (Zithromax) and probiotics

Last night Ewen went to sleep without me even having to rub his feet or his back. He just fell asleep with a bit of huffing but in a pretty normal way. I couldn't believe it. And then this morning he woke up happy and he was fine going to school (Mike took him this morning). He was huffing a bit but his tics weren't bad. He didn't seem nervous or upset at all. He was totally chill. I hope this happens every morning.

There was no school yesterday due to a teacher work day and he was pretty grumpy about having to write his book report. It is a bit concerning how much he hates doing work. I told him that has to change. He finished it then we made some note cards together for his speech to the class about the book. He practiced his speech and I timed it. He did well. Since he will present on Friday we will practice a few times this week.

He still isn't as calm as I would like him to be and he is always needing to keep focussed on something it seems. He doesn't stop to have a look at the world around him very often...if ever and that used to be fairly normal for him.

Yesterday we rode bikes to the park and on the swings he told me that he thought that this whole anxiety business has made him a better person. I asked if it was because he appreciates things more now?
He said no and didn't know why. It was nice to hear him be so positive though.

I said I thought it made me a better person too because I don't yell at the kids anymore. I asked if he had noticed that and he said he noticed that I don't yell at him but sometimes do still get mad at his sisters. Hmmm...probably need to work on that.

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. ...
