Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 , my daughter also had been on Trileptal, but not now. I cant quite remember if that was the one that made her lose weight or gain weight. In any case, if it made her gain, then thats what led to her eating disorder, binging and purging. If it made her lose weight, I took her off because she was becoming to dependent on it to lose weight. Or, it could be that she just didnt like the way it made her feel. ebbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 , What caught my eye in your post was that you talk about starting out with a depressed child, then winding up with a borderline. Most borderlines have some underlying start such as depression and/or anxiety. We have depression/anxiety in our family. My daughter has depression, the traumatic event set off her Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which led to the BPD then onto an eating disorder. Her PTSD seems to have faded along with the eating disorder. She no longer cuts, there are phases they go thru. She will always suffer from depression, and some of the BPD traits remain, but not as many as when she started out. The trouble began at 13, she will be 18 in Jan. In the four years treating her, was never able to get her into any kind of long term facility. Wasted days and days in six different facilities, that did nothing for her. We have recently removed her from the zoloft, amidst all the hype about kids becoming more suicidal on it, and she seems better without it. All the other mood altering drugs she was on, and I could send you a list, none of them made any difference with her, except for all the side effects she didn't like. The one med, I can't remember which, made her lose weight and she liked that one. Hence, the eating disorder. So, one thing leads to another thing. I read another post today, caught be off guard. Stated that rewards seem to work for her BPD child. I beg to differ, mine will get rewarded for say, getting a great report card, but then after all the hype about it, seems to fall deeper after that than she had been before. Rewards for my daughter's good behaviour, etc., go unappreciated. I don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
