[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 97625, member: 696"] my difficult child 1 was diagnosis with ADHD around 3rd grade. Somewhere along the way it morphed into BiPolar (BP). psychiatrist had him on Seroquel as monotherapy (using one drug alone). This worked for a very short time. The seroquel made him calmer but didn't really do the trick. It wasn't until he was put on a mood stabilizer (lithium) that we noticed a big difference. Since then, anxiety reared itself and a second mood stabilzer (lamictal) and neurontin was added. This combo is working for him. He still has ADHD sx, but they are managed. In short, in my humble opinion, I'd have psychiatrist tx the BiPolar (BP) and not worry about the ADHD. The music is a basket B (Ross Greene). He's a teen, it's what teen do. If you don't like the words, have a rule that it's not blaring where you or other minors can hear it. [/QUOTE]
