Hello everyone, I am new here to this place. I have never been apart of a support group but this place seems like a great place to share stories and offer advice. I don't know exactly where to begin so I'll start with introducing myself as MyHrt (MyHrt) stands for MyHeart which is my son because he is my heart He is 9 years old and he has been diagnosed with Aspergers, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Anxiety Disorder, and Conduct Disorder. I am a single parent with not much of a support system. The reason I am writing is because my son has been on medication since he was two years old. Nothing has seemed to work. He's been on pretty much everything and nothing has helped. He is currently on 450 mg of Lithium twice a day, 15mg of Abilify twice a day, and 30 mg of Vyvanse once a day. I also started giving him 1000 mg Omega 3 once a day last week (I know that it takes a while to build up in his system). The problem is that nothing seems to be helping. He's been on the Lithium/Abilify for two months now and it almost seems like he's worse. His psychiatrist is amazed that it hasn't calmed any of his aggressiveness or helped with his irritability. He seems more irritable than ever before. He's been to so many doctors and been on so many different types of medicine (Depakote, Trileptal, Risperdal, Clonodine, Ritalin, Metadate, Focalin, Adderall, Concerta, just to name a few) These were all used in combinations and nothing has ever seemed to help. Is it possible that medication just doesn't work on some children? The reason I am asking is because I hate seeing him take all of this medication only to have him get worse most of the time. He gets so frustrated that he starts to cry because he can't handle his emotions. I am working with him and a psychologist on behavioral plans but the medications just don't seem to be helping any. I just feel that if we could find the right combination, we could really work with him. Has anyone else has this problem or know of someone with this problem? Are there any additional test that we can do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much
