[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 335503, member: 1550"] If she has bipolar, the medications she is taking are going to make her 100X worse. I suggest a second opinion on treatment. Those medications would make anyone crazy...she's on antidepressants PLUS a stimulant...I have a mood disorder. I'd live in a hospital on those stimulating, high power medications. You can't do anything if she is overmedicated. Why isn't she on a mood stabilizer?? Wellbutrin--Very stimulating antidepressant Trazadene--Antidepressant Adderrall--A very high power stimulant that many kids can not tolerate Abilify--anti-psychotic which can not undo the affects of all those stimulating medications. Sometimes the less adept doctors give children too MANY medications and don't consider that there may be side effects causing the problems. They keep throwing more and more stuff at t he kid (or adult) until the person is truly ten times worse. I have a mood disorder and have been there/done that. I won't allow any doctor to place me on more than two medications. I've had the consequences of overmedication. Welcome to the board. Sorry you have to be here :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
