[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 195256, member: 3444"] I didn't have time to read much of your other post, so forgive me if this was already discussed. Was she ever trialed on Depakote for the mania? What about Lithium? My difficult child 2's mania/hypomania was reigned-in really well with Depakote. For complicated reasons, he's now on Seroquel XR and seems to be doing pretty well with the manic symptoms. He also did not do well on the one SSRI that was trialed. Nor can he take stimulants. And he's had bad reactions to some of the AP's. If you don't have faith in this doctor's advice (and sometimes we forget that their word is NOT gospel, but simply professional advice), I'd urge you to seek a second or even third opinion if you can manage it. If you're hearing the same recommendations from other doctors, then chances are you are making the right decision. If you have doubts, listen to what your heart is telling you and wait until you are sure of your decision. That's about all I can offer right now. I hope you can figure something out to help her stabilize and start moving forward soon. [/QUOTE]
