[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 413184"] Hi Jena. Sorry things are so difficult right now. Just going to add my experience. My difficult child is now 16, and we go through very difficutl times. Right now it is a good time period. Hope it stays here. He was diagnosis'd ODD when he was 2. Others diagnosis's were added. Bipolar not otherwise specified was diagnosis'd 6 years ago. He tried his share of medications. The one that worked the best for us, and he is still on is Lamictal. He himself will say it was a lifesaver. He has had no side affects, tolerated this very well. He has felt so much better that he stopped taking it for about a year. But is now back on this. He has other issues...severe anxiety, daily panic attacks, depression and depersonalization for the past two years. Panic attacks kept him home for a long, long time. Afraid to leave. He had xanax but it wasn't very affective. He currently takes klonipin and it is fantastic. His daily panic attacks are gone. He also took a low dose of abilify to help with the depression. Due to weight gain he stopped that, but did admit while taking it he felt the best he has in a long, long time. Sorry I am babbling. Mood stabalier for us = Lamictal [/QUOTE]
