[QUOTE="totoro, post: 235345, member: 3155"] Hi and welcome to a wonderful place! We ended up doing a medication wash last year, because we had no idea what medication was helping what, hurting her more? What was at it's right dose? We had a psychiatrist that moved way too fast and had added medications to fast before K was stable on the first one. So now we have a new psychiatrist and we say what medication she goes on and how fast we titrate up, with help and direction from our psychiatrist of course. But we always have final say in any of the choices. We just chose to back off of her medication that she is on due to weight gain and tics. She will start another but not until we are ready. We are doing her Neuro-psychiatric testing first. After having her on way too many medications, we will only go one medication at a time. Get it up to Therapeutic levels and then see what symptoms are left. Then maybe choose another medication if needed. I agree with the others about sleep and the books. I am huge fan of Dr. Pavuluri's husband and I both follow her Rainbow method. We had a very hard time with sleep for our kids. But we have tried very hard to keep it in their beds, even if it mean we spend a lot of time in their beds. Slowly decreasing the amount. For K if she is hypo or manic we allow her to read or listen to music. If it is really bad she can play her DIDJ (leapster). Me or husband will read to her, rub her back and then leave her with one of these things. It has really helped her. Good luck [/QUOTE]
