[QUOTE="Andrea Danielle, post: 75814, member: 2357"] Hello, I haven't updated for awhile, it has been too exhausting to summarize what has been happening. difficult child has had an up and down summer, some successes but mostly very difficult - it always is in the summer. He had a really rough start at Grade 1, new school and despite the warnings the teacher wasn't prepared! Pm day one, I got "the phone call" at 2:30 to say that he had gotten into a fight on the playground, left school property and had a meltdown in class - of course, I wasn't surprised. Things have calmed a bit now. Overall, we realize that over the past 5 months on Risperdal, things have really not improved, it hardly seems to be making a difference at all. He went up to 1.0 mg, and was just as aggressive as ever. So, we are just about to start on Epival, I am scared of mood stabilizers. The blood draws seem daunting, and so do the side effects. Has anyone tried this medication for Bipolar? How did it work out for your child - I know that I can't judge based on other people's experiences alone but I am just curious. His mood swings are wild, I am hoping that this will help even things out a bit... Andrea [/QUOTE]
