[QUOTE="nvts, post: 410105, member: 3814"] Hi Guys! Please give me an answer/suggestion re: lithium. difficult child 1 is in the psychiatric hospital. and finally started cycling for them (took a week + to do so). They're suggesting lithium to quell the impulsivity and the hypersexual comments and gestures (he's 12 by the way). They explained that this points them toward a bi-polar diagnosis. Questions: 1. has lithium helped? 2. are you aware of alternative medications? 3. his HbA1C is elevated from the risperdal - I'm worried about him developing diabetes (I'm a type 1 diabetic so the potential is high). Are you aware if lithium elevates blood sugar? They want authorization in the next hour or so, but even if I pass the deadline and have to make the decision, please give me your input. Thanks all of you! As usual, forever in your debt! Beth [/QUOTE]
