[QUOTE="branbran, post: 46502, member: 3762"] Hi - I love this site too. I also have a difficult child who was originally diagnosis with ADHD which turned into BiPolar (BP) and now they have added Conduct Disorder to the mix. What fun!!! She has also been on the Trileptal/Risperadol combo with so-so results. (amoung many others) We are now in the process of changing her medications, yet again!!!! She had some bad side effects from the Risp. and gained 40 pounds. She is in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and struggling daily. She has been hospitilized 8 times. I'm not sure how far into CT you are, but I have found 4 Winds hospital to be the best one. (in my area anyway) They have a few locations, Katonah NY and I believe further upstate NY. You don't get much one on one time with the doctors, just like any other hospital., but their pretty good with the kids. They do lots of activities and it's a beautiful place. My daughter is 16 now and was first evaluated at 7 yo, they said ADHD and I always knew it was more. But they didn't want to diagnosis her with anything else until she was older. Once I finally got the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis - I thought yay - now we can get our miracle pill and she'll be just fine. Well - needless to say that was back when I was nieve to all of this. There was no miracle pill and to date she has been on every medication there is to, no avail!!!!! I know what you are going through, how frustrating and disheartening this is. Hang in there.
