Guest guest Posted May 6, 1998 Report Share Posted May 6, 1998 I just got a call from my daughter-in-law. They have been accepted to adopt an 8 yr old girl and a 7 year old boy! We are SO excited. These will make us having 13 grandkids. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 1998 Report Share Posted May 6, 1998 Thank you Lynnie for your comments on both issues. I will be going with Connie and this am for his counseling-she doesn't feel able to do even this simple thing and that is OK this morning as I told her I have a list and want to make sure each thing gets tended to. Am searching the net for Zoloft and young children for information. Am excited with Lori Downs news last night on the mito find and will try searching that out today too if I have time and energy. The family Dr. we had does not feel capable dealing with 's attempted suicide and wants him to see a pediatric psychiatrist but I don't want him to switch from -they have hit it off and she knows the background and I can keep her informed too. I can't wait to see my new grandkids but the kids won't see them until they fly to Chicago the 21st and then it'll be 3-4 wks until the kids fly here for good. Hoping for photos soon. S.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 1998 Report Share Posted May 7, 1998 Merril, is only 4. I see on the web that Pfiefer (or however they spell their company name), the people who make the Zoloft have done trials on kids 6-17 and generally start at 25mg and work up to 200mg per day. I know from past experience and an ADHD specialist that many times only a tiny amt. of a drug will work wonders for people with ADHD (I feel a mito disorder). Therefore since I can't find any further infor. and everywhere I call can't help us I will suggest to the therapist who will suggest to the Dr. they start him on 12 1/2 mg per day of Zoloft and see how it goes. His mom was taking Zoloft for depression when she was nursing him and he seemed to do fine. My husband was given Dexidrine yest. for ADHD. I am jealous he will have something to help him. Dexidrine was the only drug which REALLY helped my ADHD but everytime I would develop a sinus and eye infections after about a week. I need to decide on some sort of anti-depressant for myself as the Ritalin alone is driving me nuts with the see-saw effect and it does NOT help me slow down or focus, just takes me from a whirlwind effect into a race car effect by clearing my mind and allowing me the consistent energy to race ahead to do the million things that come into my mind all at once. I'm either frustrated, confused and depressed or I'm burning out. I've tried so many drugs but none of them seem to be just right. (And diets, self-helps, etc. etc.) I would appreciate ANY help or suggestions from anyone with (or anything else). S.
