[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 282915"] If your child really has bipolar illness, the ritalin is very likely only making the behavior worse. Our daughter has bipolar illness and we found a mood stabilizer plus other medications to be very helpful. When she had VERY bad stresses, we would give her Risperdal for a few days. The Risperdal was very calming for her. Abilify can be a helpful medication. There are many medications out there to try. Most of our kids have had to try many different ones. I would talk with the doctor as soon as possible about changing her medications. With reference to the Day Care...it's hard to say. You might ask for another chance explaining that she is trying a new medication. See if they have a teacher that is good with special needs kids. Whenever you can, volunteer at the school. Agree that your child would not go on field trips, unless you go as well to help out. Unless there was some obvious abuse to your child at the day care, I would not hire an attorney. I would try to work with them, or look for alternative arrangements. Wishing you well... I know this is very hard. Please take good care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
