[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 298456, member: 1233"] I am so very sorry. This is just heartbreaking. You and husband are just amazing parents to be able to do what you already have done for the girls. They are blessed to have you. i do not know if it is realistic to expect to see any effects from the lithium until it is at a therapeutic level. I know with Jessie's seizure medications that we did not have anything positive until she had been at the therapeutic level for more than a month. It took us almost a YEAR to titrate up to the therapeutic level because the side effects were painful if she increased too much. That year school work was incredibly hard for her and if we had kept her in school she would not have learned anything because she needed quiet to get any focus at all. I wish I had a magic bean that would grow a beanstalk to take you and husband and the girls to a world with no mental illness or any other kind of problem. Until we find those magic beans, know that I am sending lots and lots of big squishy hugs for all of you. [/QUOTE]
