[QUOTE="still_struggling, post: 257958"] DS is 11, was originally diagnosis'd at age 5 (although I say diagnosis'd loosely - no "real" testing was done). He has tried the following medications with little to no success: Risperdal Lithium Abilify and a couple of others which names are escaping me at the moment. As I said before, there were NO changes in behavior regardless of if he took the medications or not, which led me to believe that the original diagnosis of bipolar was wrong. We're working with a psychiatrist now, who also believes that he's not bipolar, but also hasn't evaluated him herself. She's currently only treating his ADHD symptoms. I just got off the phone with DS's pediatrician and asked for a referral to All Children's for an evaluation. Hopefully this will get me started in the right direction. I'm also going to check out the library and see if I can find that book! Thanks to all of you who've responded so far. I'll keep checking to see if there are any changes or additional info provided. I'm also going to read up and see how to add a signature. lol! [/QUOTE]
