[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 103771, member: 1545"] Paris~ Trust an old veteran when I tell you that trying two medication stabilizers is just the beginning of trying to find the right 'medication cocktail'. It literally took my husbands psychiatrist about 8 years to find just the right combo of medications - at just the right dosages with just the right PRN drugs. And I have been told, that even though this is the right mix for now, it is possible that it won't be the right mix two years from now. How encouraging - [img]:slap:[/img] In addition to medications - people with mental illness need ONGOING therapy. It took my husband about 8 years to understand that therapy was more than a few visits when he was under duress. Therapy really does help to offer real world orientation, to work on cognitive behaviors, to set goals, etc. Happy birthday to your difficult child. Hope it's an OK day. [/QUOTE]
