[QUOTE="klmno, post: 318505, member: 3699"] I think I would try it- right before the weekend maybe so you can personally watch for signs of instability yourself. Really, you're the medication "expert" here so I hestiate on this. LOL! My guess is that hormones are playing into this, as you suspect, and she's trying to adjust to 9th grade- I'm assuming she just started a new school this year. Plus, that all-dreaded female insecurity when she's worried that she's not fitting in as well as another girl. Do you think it's gone so far to classify it as depression yet? Will she talk to a therapist? Anything you can join her up in at school that might help her meet people? Does she have any old friends that she hasn't seen in a while that she could get together with for a sleep over or something else fun and reassuring? Would you feel comfortable "briefing" any of her teachers and letting them know she could use a little extra support at school right now? ETA: I'm just throwing those questions out to brainstorm, not that you need to answer them. [/QUOTE]
