I am trying to figure out why meds just are not helping my son. I'm wondering if we need to up the Buspar. For those who have a teen on Buspar, what dose
our they on. Luke takes it three times a day adding up to 20 mg a day. I see online that it can go up to 60mg. He was complaining of not feeling well, mainly
in his stomach after we kept saying dh was not going to take him to the pool. Bush kept saying a lot of his behaviors seemed to come from anxiety, I agreed,
that's why I asked for an antiaxiety med and he did so good on it for awhile, then when we upped it, did good again. I'm wondering if we upped it again
if it would help.
Yesterday I kept thinking that I wish I could take his meds for awhile so I would know how he felt on them. I am currently slowly weaning off of Lamictal because taking it I had a hard time seeing words to read, was clumsy, couldn't think clearly, would forget what I'm talking about in mid sentence, other thing also that I can't remember right now, and I was getting very angry about it. I have heard Luke say in the past that he feels like he's not really in his body. That was on different meds, but still.
I know he's not happy and if he were happy, he wouldn't be so grumpy. He is depressed right now, sleeps a lot, he's sleeping right now, paces back and forth, is always sad or mad, won't do anything except a couple of things with us when it's his idea. He looks so sad while just sitting there on the couch.
So of course, I have been depressed, very depressed today and yesterday. How do you look at your depressed child and not want to cry, even though he's been so mean to you.
