7 yr old prescribed zoloft! nooooo!!!! Page 2 of 4

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
When I went to pick it up today, we found that the clerk misunderstood. She had the Lachesis mutus,(again) not what inquired about, Lachesis 200C.

I will now have to order it, and hope for it to come next week.

In the meantime, can we do another round of the lachesis mutus as instructed before, or just wait for the Lachesis to arrive?

He's back to the previous behaviors at a crisis level. We can't even have the kids in the same room together...

You have to wait for Lachesis Mutus 200c which is same as Lachesis 200c.

Repeating the same potency as given earlier is not advisable
 
sameervermani last decade
Understood... We're awaiting the shipment.

He seems to have leveled off again, but is left with some OCD traits (mouth gestures and concern over every lump and bump in the mouth) as well as travelling left side pains.

It seems bearable, and we are trying to keep him stress free as much as possible.

:)

Will advise once the dose is received and given.

hi Ryansmom, Lachesis mutus and lachesis are same. only the potency is different.initially Dr sameer gave you Lachesis30c and now he has progressed it to lachesis 200c.

Thank you both! We received the shipment and administered the dose exactly as described last night.

He's been pretty feisty today with only a few tantrums. It seems to come in waves. A few good days in a row, then a day or two of being a monster. LOL.

Again, thank you so much for your time! I'll await further instructions and keep you posted on any observations. It's just barely been 24 hours now. :)

Just for clarity, the first dose was the 30C, and 2nd was 200 C (the misunderstood order at the healthfood store).

Apparently, Sameer knew ahead of time it would need to be ordered. 200C doesn't seem to be a common dose carried locally in a non metro area. :)

Update me in 1 week.

I'm not sure it's related, because my husband's side of the family has a tendency, but Ryan sprung a nosebleed this morning that can only be described as a gusher... I've never seen one that bad.

His mood is good, he's sleeping well, and is over all much more pleasant. Very happy, almost giddy :D Could just be we're a few days away from Santa...

Just wanted to let you know some observations so far.

Happy Holidays!

The remedy is bringing out discharges in the form of nose bleeds and when that is accompanied by mental amelioration, that is an indication we have hit the perfect remedy.

Just wait and watch, and let the vital force take its own sweet course now.

His brother bopped him in the nose fighting over the TV remote and he sprung another leak.... It was short lived this time though and it came under control quickly.

This afternoon has been a series of ups and downs, and manic type behavior and he's settled down nicely now. Going to take him out for a date tonight and give him some fresh cool air and change of scenery.

:)

Hello Sameer :)

While I would love to report that all is calm and normal, we still have a ways to go...

I will say that episodes are farther spaced, and only occur a few times a day, they still occur. It's a roller coaster with some days being much better, and others almost unbearable at times.

At 9 days out from the last dose of remedy, the OCD returned yesterday (a week) and fretting about small injuries (a hangnail, a loose tooth, touching his nose then itching his eye) have returned. These episodes also accompany extreme talkativeness, where he verbally tries to reassure himself. We do see that as progress.

He has also appeared pale the past few days, with no more occurrences of nosebleeds from the last reports.

We hope tomorrow will be a better day, as usually it escalates then retreats....

Anger at his (older) brother is still apparent recently, but we saw improvement earlier. He still frets quite a bit over his younger sibling and is VERY protective of how fast we respond to his needs.

So, that's pretty much our summary... ups, and downs.

:)
 
ryansmom last decade
This is what will happen initially, a reduction in the frequency of the episodes.

Please order Lachesis LM1 and LM2, oral liquid in 30 ml teat dropper bottles.

The link is below.

Talk to me when you have the remedy with you.

Thank you again for all your time in helping us :)

I have ordered the two, to be delivered airmail and will advise when received.

While some days are obviously better than others, we are thrilled when we realize we're having a good day. LOL

He has episodes of hyperness and elation, although is fretting about every little boo boo and scratch. He INSISTS on re-enacting every thing that happens, being very specific on where he bumped his head, the circumstances, showing us the object... etc. He feels COMPELLED to do this.

He must be kept away from the older sibling almost completely. They fight constantly and causes him to become enraged.

Anger episodes have reduced quite a bit. Clothes are still a problem. He complains of pains in his hands (left side is most common), neck, ankles. He is obsessed with teeth and his gums... He's losing and growing new teeth and he is constantly voicing details and concerns about every lump and bump in there. Gets very angry when we can't see what is bothering him.

Although that sounds bad, it is still an improvement from where we started. It's bearable and manageable by just speaking to him or reminding him to stop. He wants to be told 'try not to do that...'

I just wanted to keep you apprised of where he stands now.

:)

We are returning him to school on Monday. I felt that keeping him home would help the situation and I really can't say that it does. A more structured environment, and break from each other is probably more important.
 
ryansmom last decade
Okay.
 
sameervermani last decade
Finally received LM1 and LM2 today. :)

Things have improved, and leveled off some, with some hyperactivity in the evenings, and increasing (at times) OCD. He's very worried about specks in his food, color variations of their contents. Such as an apple...

Adjusting well in school, but getting dressed in the mornings is usually painful and leads to huge arguments... He finds fault with everything.. seams, the fit is too large or too small, too long or too short etc. We have to force him to wear underclothes.

Look forward to hearing from you again.
 
ryansmom last decade
I think we can wait for 1 more week, before we start on LM1.

Update at that time.
 
sameervermani last decade
Today's update: mouth obsession is escalating. He's compelled to explore every nook and cranny, and explain this to you in detail every 2 minutes (OCD). Nothing we can say or do alleviates these symptoms, weather we try to ignore the repeated 'I'm doing this...' or 'I bit here...' or 'I can feel that.....'

His mouth fascinates him, and he feels there are endless things to worry and wonder about...

Temper tantrums and wishing he had not been born, wanting to run away, and that he hates us has returned.

We ignore so much of his 'bad' behavior because there is no rational way to deal with it. Time outs escalate into manic fits.

While things are still manageable to a certain extent, (but not contributing to his breakdowns) they aren't normal. No normal family would allow such behavior, and I often wonder what would happen if he were in a different situation.

An overnight visit with his grandma revealed the same behaviors, and she was at a loss as to how to cope with him, his complaints, the repetativeness....

I feel like the worst parent in the world, as if we should have spanked more, or reacted differently.... but, honestly, I feel it's within him and he reacts opposite of what you expect. There is no way to gauge, prevent, help him...

The neighbor has free kittens, my husband is deathly allergic to them. No amount of explaining will convince him that we simply don't hate him and want him to run away, and just want him to be sad by denying him a cat... Our patience is never ending and he suffers so much......

While he drives us crazy, I can't help but feel badly knowing he is dealing with this first hand. It must be so much worse that what we experience second hand...

If you could offer any insight as to how we all came to be this way, and if there is any light at the end of the tunnel.. He may eventually outgrow many of these behaviors (learning how to cope, like his father and older brother).. I just worry that it will be damaging in the long run, to remember such angst, and confusion.. and confliction...

Give first dose of LM1. Dissolve 4 drops in 250 ml spring water, stir with a spoon and give a spoon from there.

Update in 48 hours.
 
sameervermani last decade
Thank you... :) I know I can babble on and on...

Should I be looking for a specific reaction, or ready for more nosebleed?
 
ryansmom last decade
well...... administered the dose as prescribed.

This afternoon and evening has literally been hell. It's hard not to react to his outbursts and none if it makes any sense.

He's just nasty, challenging and even gave me a look early this evening that can only be described as 'possessed'. Pure evil.

His interactions with ANY family member at this point result in mayhem.

Looking forward to a better tomorrow. I know it's coming... (the improvement)....
 
ryansmom last decade
After initial worsening in the 1st 24 hours, the improvement has begun!

He's calmer, being sociable, apologetic. Temper flareups are very short lived and he gets control again quickly.

Mouth obsession is still apparent when he's nervous about something, but we keep him distracted and occupied to help him avoid it.

It's actually pleasant to be around him once again!
 
ryansmom last decade
From now on, whenever you take a dose, you need to hit the bottom of the LM1 bottle prescribed number of times before you measure out the dose. Each hit is a HARD thump on the palm of your hand to the bottom of the Helios LM1 bottle.

So, please give next dose of LM1 tomorrow, as follows:

1)Hit the LM1 bottle hard 8 times
2)Wait for 2 minutes
3)Take out 2 drops from bottle in 250 ml spring water, stir with a spoon and give a spoon from there.

Update in 48 hours.

OK, this is going to be hard to convey without typing through a blur of tears....

Overall, things today went well, but we are still very much on the roller coaster that leads me to believe we all need mental help.

While he was away with friends at the park, he sprung a horrendous nosebleed, although recovered quickly.

His behavior at home has been erratic, and soap getting in his eyes at bath time was traumatic and you would have thought his leg was cut off at the hip....

He's now playing quietly on the pc with his dad... as if nothing ever happened, and I'm still upset, crying and feeling terrible for how he must feel in his darkest moments!

I'm exhausted and in despair, unsure if I am serving him best. My faith is shaken to the core when he has the irrational moments and it's impossible to cope or know the proper way to handle him....

We will give the dose as recommended tomorrow, because even as bad as it seems, it is still an improvement over the 'bad' days.


I could (we!) just use some encouragement as to when the remedy will 'stick' and he can finally achieve some peace on an ongoing basis. My biggest worry is that he will look back on his childhood with horror... he's only 7, and no one should have to live with such demons.....

We all appreciate your time and consideration, and are keeping the faith.. As you know, some days are much darker than others, and even one episode can overshadow an entire day of improvement....
 
ryansmom last decade
Hello Sameer. I hope you are well.

We administered the dose exactly as prescribed on 1/22. Improvement began the next day, and increased steadily. He has returned to a calm, rational, sociable child. Tantrums have disappeared again, as well as any OCD mouth behaviors!

There still are traces of aggression towards us, but it's minimal.
 
ryansmom last decade
Good stuff, let us see how long this good effect lasts, and that will decide our dosage interval.


Update in another 2 days.
