[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 303518, member: 1550"] Welcome to the board :happy:. It is common for bipolar kids to exhibit lots of ODD behavior. I would feel queasy about having her off medications. It's not good for kids to have manic episodes...they can ingrained on the brain. I have a mood disorder and without medication the moodswings worsen. I would personally want my child on a mood stabilizer rather than just an antipsychotic. Mood stabilizers are Lithium, Lamictal, Trileptal, Tegretal, and Depakote. They work better for the long term. Also, yes, it is very common for kids with all disorders to take it out on mom more than dad. Dad's, maybe due to their tallness and loud voices and not being around as much, tend to see them at their best and to get a better response in the area of discipline. Sometimes Dad doesn't believe Mom or thinks Mom is just a poor disciplinarian, but that's not it. In my house, even the dogs listen to Dad more than Mom. I swear, it's the deep voice!!! [/QUOTE]
