[QUOTE="threeofmine, post: 507766, member: 13922"] My son has been seeing hi dr for over two years now and I brought the bipolar diagnosis up the last two times and he was very hesitant. The ADHD medications overstimulated him to the point of the violent outburst, running away from home and stealing. Since they took him off those medications he was like a different child but those issues of anger/aggression has been creeping back in and he gets so easily overstimulated. I took the Aspergers scale test and he scored high but no one from the school district or hospital think that he falls on the spectrum. No one has sent us to an Occupational Therapist (OT) even though I have requested it just to be evaluated. He's had speech and language evaluation but one on one he does great its when he gets into the classroom he bombs. Hes losing friends because of his unpredictability. We see his dr. next week to go over putting him on the mood stabilizer we are slowly weening him off the celexa. I have read about bipolar and it does fit him almost to a tee, and his therapist have suggested it also. I am waiting for a neuro-psychiatric dr.s office to call me back but it seems like there is a 1+year waiting list I feel like that is too long to wait. I mean he's ten now and already having major problems. Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
