[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 438387, member: 1233"] I hope you realize they MUST have your approval to start any medication on minor child. I would get out my copy of The Bipolar Child or get a copy at the library or bookstore and re-read the medication section then take it to talk to the psychiatrist. NO WAY will an SSRI or any other ad help if his moods are not stable. Research has shown that once moods are stable many people do not NEED much else for depression, and those that do need FAR less than many people end up taking. Giving him the ssri before he is fully stable (6 weeks at therapeutic levels) is asking for them to make him MORe unstable and those effects can last for weeks or months after the ssri is stopped. You should at least ask her why she doesn't wnat to follow the medication protocol approved for bipolar treatment. SSRIs are NOT approved until well after moods are STABLE. Whatever happens, I hope he gets better soon. [/QUOTE]
