JAZ: He is using the whole guilt & depression thing to justify his relationship with another woman. Fair: I'm with JAZ on this one, kita. Sounds to me like the man is out of the relationship. A...
Wow, Randy! You do move a lot! Then you know how miserable life can be, huh? Well, the sleep/pulmonary doc said he will resort to that if my son still has this after being off Zoloft. Have you had...
Well, he's 14 and physical activity in the summer months is hard when they're bored and becoming lazy, but I will do my best to rouse him. HA! I've often thought how miserable he must be with all...
MindsEye, This may be a long shot, but maybe you have sleep apnea? or you're taking a med for the depression that is causing this? Two things you should check into. Sleep apnea can actually cause or...
My son had another sleep study. The doctor found that he jerks his legs an average of 264x/hour and wakes an average of 17x/hour. These numbers don't include the number of times he follows the leg...
PS: I'm in agreement with JAZ that the counselor is NOT a counselor. What a darn shame that your husband got this horrible advice....
Geeze, kita. What a predicament. I say you wait it out with your husband. Pray and hope. I do not think you're an idiot. You obviously love the man, so wait a bit. Your anger is undstandable and it's...
tainted, It's my son on Zoloft, not me, but his adverse symptoms are insomnia and restless leg and limb syndrome. I wondered too if it causes him to be more depressed and anxious. We're looking to...
Thanks for the encouragement, Rosie. Have a wonderful evening....
Randy, Went to sleep specialist today in fact. My son is going in tonight for another sleep study - this time with his CPAP and with wires hooked to his legs AND upper torso as well. I'm hoping that...
Hi Dee! I've found this form to be very helpful and friendly. Stay a while. Things might get better....
Thanks, Randy. I was told today that Zoloft can be a main culprit to RSL or for that matter PLM, which I believe that my son actually has because every part of his body moves constantly - all night,...
Yes. It is scary that his personality changed in one weekend. He attempted to run away from his Dad's that weekend and was froffing at the mouth, crying, clinging to cars, etc. I made him return to...
Regarding side effects: My son was also taking Abilify which, believe it or not, was causing him to have priasm (erections). It is a very rare side affect, but if anyone will have a rare thing, it...
Thank you both for your imput. It is my 14 yr old son that is having the insomnia with severe restless leg syndrome. The poor kid is miserable. Rarely sleeps which could also be prolonging the...
I have been diagnosed with this condition. The doctor didn't seem alarmed. Does anyone know anything about this or have experience with it. Tell me what you can, please....
Does anyone know if Zoloft causes insomnia or has anyone experienced insomnia with Zoloft? Insomnia or even restless legs and limbs?...
Ativan as needed for anxiety. I recommend it, but not as a habit....
Thank you to everyone for the encouragement. As far as more information, I will give more as I have time. It has been a very long road. Suffice it to say that my son's father is a control freak who...
Thanks for the encouragement, Randy. I'm a Christian, but my faith is waining and I'm sure it's my own fault....
Randy, One day he was fine, although I think depressed a bit for some time, and then he was out of his mind - delirious and has been battling with something ever since. Anytime his Dad leaves a voice...
Hang in there, Randy. My sister has Crohns and it's quite a battle. Is a very tiring disease, which I am sure lends to depression. Keep up the fight, friend. As for divorce: sometimes it is...
Despair is the word that best describes how I feel as a mother. I see no end to a very despairing, sad situation. I want to run away and never come back. My son's emotional, and now behavioural...
In follow up, the doctors are treating him for anxiety and depression and as if he is having post traumatic stress disorder. As I stated before, he came home from his dad's acting pscyotic. Never had...
Please tell me whether or not my teen boy is acting out from anxiety/depression or teen rebellion. He's been in bad shape, mentally, for some time and the psychia & psycholo's can't quite figure it...
Your doc needs to know all these side effects. The the time to log them. Don't quit w/o his imput. My son is on Abilify as well. He, of course, has a rare side effect called Priapism. The one the men...
Respirdal is a scary drug. My son now jerks at night because of this drug. If you can take anything else, do it!...
