[QUOTE="3sacharm, post: 20350, member: 171"] I have an ADHD/ bipolar 7 year old who is finally, on the home front, in a good place and on the school front things are in transition. My sons first diagnosis was the bipolar (diagnosis aged 5) and with the help of lithium his mood swings are managable. This past year we tried to introduce medications to help with the attention/focusing issues. We made our way through the stimulant class one by one (before he was on the lithium we tried a stimulant with horrible effects (which helped to tip of the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis). We are now finding success with lithium and metedate (ritalin family). We changed psychiatrists to give us a fresh look at the medication situation and it seemd to really help. Good luck, I know this is soooooooo hard. [/QUOTE]
