[QUOTE="P-nut2004, post: 425295, member: 11740"] I can't give you any advice on dealing with teens as my difficult child is much younger (I'm dreading those years) and I'm fairly new here. What I can tell you is that, coming from my personal experience with mood disorders, esp. bi-polar, MWM is right about the delicate balance of medications. Especially with suicidal thoughts & behavior. I rode the medication trial roller coaster myself for years & Lamictal has worked better than anything else for me. I also second what MWM said about getting a neuropsychologist exam, it is definitely the best decision we have made so far with difficult child. Previous to her neuropsychologist testing she was only being treated for ADHD & ODD with a stimulant and mild sedative, things were so much worse. Now that we understand where all her behaviors are coming from and can medicate her properly she is not as dangerous to herself and others, although still quite a handful and in my opinion not on the right mix of medications yet. I hope this helps & above all else know that you are not alone and there are some things you can do to better the situation, this board has been my saving grace lately & others will definitely have good advice for dealing with teens.
