[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 383503, member: 3184"] I have no doubt that difficult child is bipolar, no matter what his diagnosis says. How else would the medication mix he is on be so helpful? I know that stims are not good for bipolar people, and I am leery of this increase, but at the same time I know that difficult child is intolerable without the stimulant. If it is too much we will know soon, and there will be no doubt. With my difficult child? If he does not have a stimulant on board he is adhd'ish all day, it does not wax and wane, but will get worse as he gets frustrated due to other people's reactions to him. The morning abilify dose will not cut it for him. Abilify really does seem to be the ap that helps him, it helped his dad too but it activated the tardive in dad that geodon caused. I have moments where I get worried that difficult child will get tardive, but we have seen no sign at all of it and new psychiatrist is very thorough about checking him. I really really like her. The last time I billed the insurance company for her visit? They sent me $1.49 back on a $150 visist. It is hard to come up with the money for her, but she only sees him once every 3 months unless we ask to see her sooner and we do most changes over the phone. I have been at this that I am ok with this, and if I am not comfortable I have no problem saying so and asking for an appointment. [/QUOTE]
