Pat, We went to see Dr. Brenner today. He wants to try Lithium on J. J had a rough day today.........He hit at me about 5 times and then hit at his dad!!!!!!!!! He has never done that before! He has a little bit of a cough and I don't know if that is what is causing him to hit out or not. He came home and took a nap and then got up and hit again! ZEESH!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 oh, no; Karac strikes out when he doesn't feel well, or when he hurts. It could be that, but as much as J is doing it; it is more likely from how bad he is feeling from the withdrawal. I don't remember how long it took for Karac to get past that stage; I just remember giving him two Epson Salt baths a day and protecting myself with a heavy coat and mittens that looked like boxing gloves, fortunately it was before he got as big as he is now. I'm surprised that the Ativan is not helping J through this. Is there any way that you can protect yourself from this aggression until J gets use to being without the drug? Does Lithium effect the sugar level? I'll keep praying. Love and blessings, Pat K Re: How's J OH MY!!!! Pat, We went to see Dr. Brenner today. He wants to try Lithium on J.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Pat, I had to go to the store today and J went along.....He "cha-chaed" the whole time and kept "tapping" me. He also would take his finger and press it between his eyebrows to where he had a red make there from doing it so much. No-The Lithium isen't suppose to rise blood suger,that is why Dr. Brenner wants to try it. I haven't given it to him yet. I work at a high school and there is a guy that works there that takes it. He started working there when he was a student and they kept him on. He is now 23. I have talked to his mom and she said Mel was a mess when he was a little boy and they tried different meds but when they tried the Litheum it worked great. Mel seems to be very laid back. Of course that might not be the same with J. He has my nerves a wreck. Lois Re: How's J OH MY!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 That is encouraging; isn't it? I always feel better when I talk to someone who has had good luck with a drug. Did her son have any side effects from it? Do you think that J was pressing between his eyebrows because he had a headache? Does J tell you when he feels bad or when something hurts him. I understand what you mean about your nerves being a wreck. Believe me I have been through it, and it is tough. You are strong; you will get through this. I continue to pray for you and J.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Let me know how he does today. It will probably take some time for his own seretonin and dopamine to kick in after the withdrawal. He sounds so precious. Love and blessings, Pat K Re: How's J OH MY!!!!
