Re: severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts READ NOW

[Guest guest]

....take this SERIOUSLY...Call the Doctor ...ASAP:......if he is sleeping...stay next to him....you may want to call the emegency room.....I am not trying to frighten you...but I remember reading that Zoloft and some other anti-depressants can made kids suicidal. So don't panic....please....just watch him and call the doctor who prescribed. If you feel okay for the night ...call in the morning and tell them it is UrGENeT. But ..if you don't feel comfortable ...call the emergency room and ask them what to do.

I will keep you in my prayers ...you and your son.

If Anyone out there can give me some advice I will greatly appreciate it. This is (collins mom) and we are going through our own hell right now. Collin was taking zoloft for 4 years and it worked great most of the time. It controlled his anxiety and helped him deal with bad thoughts he was having like kids talking about him and not being liked by people and etc.. Out of the blue his zoloft quit working and he started comming to me with these horrible intrusive thoughts of suicide. He is only 10 years old. I am in tears right now so this is very difficult for me to tell people I dont know this stuff but I need support and advice and to know if anyone elses children have gone through this crap. He started thinking that his wii gaming system the cord on it looked like a hanging noose and wanted to hang him. Then he was afraid he would be suffocated, even when I would hug him to console him he

thought that by me hugging him it might suffocate him. He also was being told about the birds and the bees by my 12 yr old nephiew and sexual thoughts were constantly entering his head such as what womens breasts look like, how come girls dont have penisis and why do girls bleed from the vagina, I am almost embarresed repeating these things but I need to get some advice. Im so sorry, I hope im not offending anyone. I immediately took him to his psychiatrist the next day and they started him on paxil and within a few days it started working for him thank god for that I thought he is getting better. He started feeling like himself again he told me he was just still having some boy girl thoughts in his head still. I try to teach him the stop cancel thought tecnique and it use to work for him but its not helping this time. Just about 2 hrs ago he came up to me and started crying and telling me he doesnt

want to be like this anymore. He wants to be a normal boy he doesnt want to be a special boy with aspherger anymore. He said he hates to be different from other boys his age and he doesnt want to think the things that he is thinking. It is starting all over again. He said he is afraid that something is going to hang him or suffocate him. He said he doesnt want to hurt himself he is afraid to die but he feels like his wii game wants to choke him.. I am packing it away tonight and calling the doctor as soon as they open in the morning. I am so worried, I feel sick to my stomach. Has anyone dealt with anything like this please email me asap. I am scared for my son and my heart is broken to think of what he is going through. If any one can help please send me your comments. Thank You

Jan thats just the thing he isnt on zoloft right now he is on paxil.

He was on zoloft for 4 yrs and it worked great up until 2 weeks ago

when this crap started. I took him in and the doc stopped the zoloft

and put him on paxil which he has been on for a week or more, it

seemed to be working and as of tonight the thoughts are starting

again I am so afraid and out of my mind with worry. Is this part of

being an aspie or what is going on?????

Oh ...I hope I didn't scare you..I started reading your post and became frightened myself and didn't fiinish reading it....I am glad you called your doctor and call him in the morning. I think it is the meds.

Just keep telling him he is okay...and remember to hug and hold him tight. And if he starts to panic...make him take deep breaths ...in and out and show him how to do it..do it with him......oh my heart is breaking.

My son is on Zoloft but we have never experienced this ....just keep him near you and keep reasuring him. Tell him is is OKAY and that God created him and that he is a wonderful person...and we are all different and unique...he is not alone.

Keep us posted.

Hi -- this is very quick and I haven't even introduced myself to this group but we have dealt with something similar -- intrusive thoughts -- not suicidal but kind of paranoid/delusional -- and not leaving him alone too long has seemed to help a lot. Distracting him, engaging him, etc. I changed my job for this. We're working w/ a psych. who is ready to try anti-psychotics like Risperdal at some point if need be. I recommend finding the smartest psychiatrist and/or psycho-pharmacologist you can.

Interestingly -- this problem started for us when we went OFF Paxil and onto Celexa. I wonder if Paxil helps with this.... (son is 9 yo aspie/HFA)On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 11:46 PM, gina <ginak1117@...> wrote:

When you stop some of these meds, you can start having side effects like depression, etc... I've seen it happen to a friend of mine trying to get off of Paxil.

Jan - this is NOT a "normal" Asperger's related situation. My son has never experienced anything close to this. We did have a brief (like a few hours) period of time where he was very sad and not hopeful for the future but we talked about it for awhile (and his grandpa came over too) and it got better rather quickly. I think I read your son is on Adderall, Paxil, and Zoloft? Could it be a reaction to that combination of meds?

Like many other posters have said, you need to contact someone immediately about this. I'd make an appt w/ his psychiatrist ASAP too to make sure you don't need to modify dosing. Do not attempt to do this on your own though b/c it's dangerous with the types of drugs your son is currently taking.

, Paxil and Zoloft belong to the same class of drugs -called SSRI's. All of them in this drug class can make a young person suicidal. It's a bad side effect of SSRI's. My daughter has been feeling depressed lately but not having suicidal talk. But since the SSRIs are all anti-depressants and she's on a high dose of Lexapro -a SSRI, then why is she feeling depressed I'm wondering! I will need to talk to her therapist about a change. My daughter takes a very large dose of the Lexapro, due to OCD and Perseveration-unwanted thoughts and worrying. She's an Aspie too. I've seen basicly no change in her problems. None of the many different SSRI's I've given her over the years have helped her symptoms much if at all. Maybe being an Aspie, makes them not able to help her much, I don't know. A different class of drugs might help your son -like anti-

anxiety meds: (like Klonapin or BuSpar), or anti-psychotics: (like Geodon or Serequel) which are used off-label for many Aspies and other Autistic persons. Maybe this change in meds could help your serious situation. Take care, Irene

My son is doing fine on his meds. He is on Adderall, Zoloft and Xanex (for anxiety) plus claritin. We were suppose to give him Risperdol for anger....but I stopped it when the weight started pouring on....

Any anti-depressant ....you have to be weaned off of....and should be monitored by the Psychiatrist or MD. If paxil and zoloft are in the same family (SSR) then the Paxil might be causing the suicidal thoughts.....just like zoloft. Any concerns with any meds. should be brought to the dr.'s attention....and suicidal thoughts should never be taken lightly. Of course i am sure you already know this.

gina...all the kids play this...I think it is a GREAT game....it takes place in the medival days....you son will give the character a name....pick out the garb he will wear....and then have to earn money by doing stuff....like catching fish and selling the fish...he will then go to the bank and put the money in there...they can get pin#....then he can go to the market to buy things like swords or new outfits etc. etc. I think it is a good site.....better then alot of the xbox games and playstation games....and he can add friends to his site and talk to them etc.

I am going to tell my son...and ask him his name on ruin scape so that he and your son can play. My son has not played it much this week as he got Xbox live and is now talking to this boy in Florida who has ADD....I listen to his conversations from the other room to make sure they are appropriate....LOL.

Does your son text on the phone? My son loves to text too on his cell phone.

I am sure my son would love to add your son to his friends list.....that is just the way he is...my social butterfly aspie...now ain't that odd.....I will get back to you tomorrow..he is talking live to on Xbox and he just hates when I "bug' him...too embarrassing....love it ..teenagers wanna be.

OMG jan,My son has the same fears of growing up and all of us dying but especailly me. One day he came up to me and said that he wished we could all dye together so he wouldnt be alone, how weird is that. our sons are alot alike. By the way I read in one of your posts that your son plays ruinscape on the computer and he has met a few friends on there. Was this your son or did I get the post wrong? He started playing it tonight so I could keep his mind off of other things and he really liked it. I take it this is a safe site and age appropriate? ? I hope so other wise now I just got myself into more trouble .HA HA I told him that a new friend of mine (that would be you) told me about this site and that her son plays it and he also has aspherger like you and he was wondering if maybe he could contact your son on this site (ruinscape) so he can play the game with him and chat. Ask your son what he

thinks???? If that is not appropriate thats o.k. I understand. anyway I just cant believe how much alike our boys are in the way they think and what they do. Have a good night jan I will talk to ya later. > > > > > > From: gina <ginak1117@ .>> > > Subject: ( ) severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts> > > > > > Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 11:33 PM> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > If Anyone out there can give me some advice I will greatly > > appreciate > > > it.
