[QUOTE="tessaturtle, post: 279965, member: 3510"] we always consult with the dr. prior to treating difficult child with any allergy or cold medicine (one of the medications he is on advises you to do this). THey okayed most cold medicines and allergy medications. THe best allergy medication for him has been Zyrtec. We only give it to him if his allergies flare up, and at his age he will usually request it if he feels like he needs it. If we don't give it to him, his allergies seem to really affect him at school - too lethargic, too disoriented, less tolerance. For our difficult child, he has been tried on nearly everything for BiPolar, the best results are with his current combo, but particularly the Abilify. He was on Abilify only when he was younger (around 8 or 9), did well, and then they added Lithium and he went completely psychotic and had some physical problems as well(hallucinations, hearing voices, suicidal, incontinence, etc). They discontinued both in favor of other medication trials. He went back on Abilify 1 yr and a half ago and (with the combo) has been in a pretty good space with it. All kids are different :) [/QUOTE]
