So as an up date I ended up getting saratonin syndrome from taking the lexapro and trazidone together. Turns out you aren’t supposed to start those two medications together untill you gave taken one of them by itself for a while. There’s an FDA warning on it and everything. I called the woman who prescribed them and she was very unhelpful. She didn’t think they were a problem. So I never went back to her and stopped taking them and felt better. Harry also never started his meds because the same week we found out that the singular he was taking might be causing some of the problem. So I took him off of it. (I have since been told by several doctors and nurses that he, a non asthmatic at the time, should have never been put on it. It may have even caused his asthma) I forgot to let his teacher know we had not yet started meds and so after a week they told me he was doing SO well on the medication! Their eyes got huge when they found out all I had done was take him off singular. So I also got off singular and my brain actually seemed better too. Not as many outbursts from either of as. Since we I was feeling better the longer I was off singular I decided to wait on medication either of us.
Now it’s almost a year later, things have leveled out, and it’s still obvious we need medication. So Harry just got his script for addiral and will start it in the morning and I’m waiting on my scrip cause my Dr. has been on vacation. Will do an update when I see how he does. He hasn’t stopped moving and making noise all day and I’ve had a headache. Ugh. And concentration is just out the window for both of us. Here’s hoping!
