[QUOTE="Jena, post: 219798, member: 4514"] It is confusing, but think back this is what i do, before the medications' if possible. What were his behaviors like? Did he suffer from bouts of depression and than switch into suddenly being ok but more than "ok", hyper, pressured speech, like he's ontop of the world?? Also I Have learned that BiPolar (BP) and anxiety go hand in hand. Which to me makes logical sense. People look at bipolar as this horrible thing, obviously it's not good. Yet when you break it down it is a brain in which has a chemical inbalance and shifts from the depression into the high geared manic stuff. They just bounce back and forth and their never just "even". I've read that bipolar can also be brought on by traumatic events in life also. It can lay dormant for years than suddenly boom your all over the map. Listen to your gut on this one. Do you see his behaviors as being worse now? I have been told by many doctors that prescribing a MS to a child who is not bipolar will not do great harm as long as the amt is low, cause that's always my big question, what if your wrong and prescribing a medication that shouldnt' be being used. Now, here's a thought. Again just talking from experience. What if he was weened off some of the medications at this point? [/QUOTE]
