[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 141655, member: 4845"] Her medications were cut back because of side effects and constant irritability. For the most part she is happy, as hyper as always, but much more "here". Like her personality is coming out, the teachers report that she is more engaging in class and having better interactions with her peers. She is able to settle down pretty quickly when it's time to stop playing or being silly or whatever she is doing. She's sleeping fine. She's not raging or doing any high risk stuff or being destructive. I really don't feel like she is manic. Aside from this issue, she is actually doing better than or the same as she was on the medications. I just want to keep the medications as low as possible. I know if I call the psychiatrist he is just going to increase the medications, without even considering any other option. And the side effects are not acceptable to me, and she has already trialed and doen poorly on so many medications. I just was really hoping that I can address this behaviorally or maybe with a therapist (I'm looking for a good one for her/us). Do you think maybe she is just angry because I made my ex leave, police were involved, it was bad? It was three months ago and she has been seeing the the SW at school 1-2 times per week. And I ask her about her feelings and questions about what's happening about once a week. And if this is it, how do I fix it? Anybody think I can do this without more medications? It's so nice to see her be so here. There is no other way to describe it! And I don't want to lose that. [/QUOTE]
