Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thanks to all of you we had a peaceful nights sleep. I tried the larger dose of benedryl before bed last night and it seemed to do the trick. She got very groggy and although she was still saying no bed I was able to coax her into bed without incident. The only problem was that she was still alert enough to get out of her bed and go into ours. But I guess for now I have to be thankful for peace and slowly work on getting her back to her bed, which by the way still isn't really her bed, it is a blow up mattress in our room. When all this anxiety stuff started back in January somehow she ended up sleeping in our room. We also went to the psychiatrist today and she started her on a 5mg dose of Abilify so I am once again hopeful for good results. She also told me to keep her on the 20 mg dose of Prozac. She had also talked about the Risperdal which I know was mentioned here but the Abilify claimed to not have the weight gain side effect which is a big concern for her as we already struggle with that and she does not even eat that much. Have people had trouble with weight gain with either of these drugs? Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
