Just keep pedaling that Unicycle, momma. I am holding you and rye in my heart and praying for relief for you both. Thank you for keeping us posted so those of us out here know we are not alone, and can send positive energy your way.

Hugs to you Meg. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, I bet this is especially painful since Rye has been doing so good for so long. I really hope you get in soon to the psychiatrist and have the opportunity to try Lithium. There has been a lot of recent research showing that Lithium is still the “gold standard” for bipolar disorder. Just knowing what it did for my boy, I feel so much hope that Rye could really have a great experience with it. We’re all by your side, praying for you and hoping for the best!

Ashley, I don’t think it will spread to the world but if they don’t know what it causing it, it can happen to others. From what I understand there is a boy now from the same town with the same symptoms as those girls so that’s not good.

Karen, I’m not a doctor but I do know that when you start piling med on top of med on top of med, you really don’t know what will happen. No one really knows too much about polypsychopharmacology – even the experts. And you can get into some real dangerous situations with mixing too many meds.

I know this sounds stupid, but can this spread to the world?

Wow – really glad I found your blog! I have been on pristiq (50mg) for depression close to 2 years now, and adderall (40mg) day for about a year. My doctor put me on this after having symptoms of ADD. Also taking 5mg of xanax at night to sleep. I seem to be having a “depressive” episode – and my doctor prescribed abilify yesterday. I wanted to do some research (before I added another med) – and this information definitely has me concerned. I found another website that talked about high levels of cortisol contributing to depression – or bipolar. Really wish I could find a doctor that would actually have an “holistic” approach and provide treatment to the “whole person”!

My prayers are going out to these girls and their families…I, myself, am a seizure patient and these girls need the BEST of the BEST Neurologists to get to the root of the problem and put them on the right medication..it was the neurologist that saved my life (and of course the Power of Prayer)…
On a more personal note..my husband and I were trying to think of how these girls in this school were coming into contact with Something and the only place that girls are allowed and not boys is the girls bathroom! I think a boy has recently been infected and so maybe it is now seeping into the boys bathroom! Maybe a new cleaning agent used to clean these bathrooms? Let’s just Pray for an answer before anymore students are infected.

Good! I hope Erin Brockovich is able to get some action on this. This could be any one of our kids and it completely disgusts me that nothing substantial is being done to help these families or prevent it from happening to others.
