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...

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...
