[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81296, member: 1233"] Nice to meet you. Sorry you have need to be here with us, but we love to have you around. ADHD is mild compared to what you may be in for. Make sure bipolar is tested for and ruled out before you trial any medications that are not mood stabilizers. NO SSRI's, antidepressants of any kind, or stimulants. These medications can send anyonewith bipolar into a positive whirlwind of cycling, and it can be very difficult and very long to get them stable. It is much easier to stabilize first, then add oter medications as needed. I wish I had known this before we saw a doctor for my oldest. I know you are probably NOT looking at medications right now, but do keep this in mind. Your gut instincts as a MOM are the best tool you have to help your child. Ignore any and ALL advice that is contrary to your gut, not matter WHO gives it. Family, friends, therapists, doctors, YOU know your child best. YOU are there 24/7, since birth. "experts" spend a few minutes with your child. So follow your instincts. I do think your child needs a full nad complete multidisciplinary evaluation, and you need to start a parent report. The archives have a whole lot of info on these to make it easy(er) to accomplish. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
