[QUOTE="Paris, post: 103682, member: 4371"] Now I'm really confused about his medications. The mood stabilizers, Depakote and Lamictal did not work. His doctor put him on Zyprexa and all of a sudden we had a beak through. It does not stop his mania or depression, but it keeps him from having severe delusions(which can be scary!!). I have an appointment with his doctor on Thurs to discuss a mood stabilizer and the Zyprexa. I hope my son doesn't fight me on this. He hates seeing doctors. The pot stops him from getting too manic, but I am 100% against it and I do not allow it because it also makes him lazy with no motivation do anything!! I told him we have to keep trying medications and we must not give up. Pot is not the answer. Today he turns 18. I don't want it to be bad day, but I don't want to shower him with gifts either. I will discuss a middle ground with his father (we're divorced), because I know I can't stick to kicking him out. I will let him back. I always do : ( Paris- 40, single mom difficult child- 18, bipolar, tested likely for Asperger's, but not sure with that one. easy child- 15, girl, no problems [/QUOTE]
