[QUOTE="Debbie MA, post: 205465, member: 1581"] My son is 16 and has had a bipolar diagnosis since he was 8. He does not take any psychiatric medications (although we trialed many between the ages of 9-12) and has been stable for several years. Our approach is not a popular one, I think, but there are many parents finding great relief for their kids with supplements. My son currently takes vitamins C, E & D; B complex; another with B3 and B12 with folic acid and amino acids; zinc; magnesium; omega 3; inositol; melatonin and Tuarine. he also takes thyroid medication. Like I said, he's fine, a joy to have around. The medications just never worked and had horrible side effects. If you are questioning medications then it might be a good idea to go the supplement route since many people find it hard to stabilize on supplements after being treated with psychiatric medications. If supplements fail then the medications are still available. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
