[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 219795, member: 1550"] Hi again. Remember, we're not the doctor...lol. You can have Prozac induced mania and not have bipolar (my son did). I have a mood disorder, and there is no end to the new, funky names they are calling any mood disorder that isn't obvious bipolar. The new one that they hung me with is "Mood Disorder Spectrum." Hmmmm...I like it! Anyway, we really can't tell you what your child will do well on. Mood stabilizers are necessary for some people with mood disorders and, no, I don't think it's a bad idea to try them, even if it's not full blown bipolar. For me, I was an adult when they put me on Lithium and I just hated how I felt on it so I did without it. And strange medications--Paxil and Clonazapan--work as mood stabilizing for me so I don't really need one to stay on an even keel. It's so very individual and can take so maddeningly long to find the right combination. All I can say is hang in there. If you don't like your psychiatrist, find another one. If he or she isn't helping your child, I'd move on. [/QUOTE]
