[QUOTE="klmno, post: 509340, member: 3699"] That's a tough one. difficult child obviously has his defiance issues and a mood disorder that has been treated as BiPolar (BP) in the past with mood stabilizers. From what I gather, even the typically used MSs have varying effects on kids ond adults. Throw in Tourretes when MSs can cause such side effects and I'm at a complete loss. The best I can suggest is to make sure a complete and thorough neuropsychologist and physical/blood test are done prior to anything and then make absolutely sure this is a competent, Child & Adolescent Certified psychiatrist. Then cross fingers and be prepared for many medication trials. And get an IEP going- the medications alone will probagbly result in the need for one because they can result in a drastic change in behavior. How old is the girl? [/QUOTE]
