[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 435109, member: 1233"] Yeah. Her suffering is part of why I think you need to take the book and push the doctor to follow it. Many docs just don't want to do the mood stabilizers because many require blood tests before starting and regularly. they say it is because the tests are "too traumatic' for the child. Hogwash. Yes, it may be a problem to do the tests, but not harder than her spending every single day of her life not functioning at all. But you have to rub their noses in the fact that with-o the medication protocol they have 1000X the problems each day as they have with the blood tests. It just isn't fair to her to have to mickey mouse around with various medications that are so unlikely to help her. If the doctor still gives you static or resistance, ask him how the medications and bloodwork stack up against the much higher risk of suicide that people with untreated bipolar have. Not fun to think about, at any time. But it does tend to get the doctors to pay attention. in my opinion at least. [/QUOTE]
