[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 119503, member: 3211"] Thanks all for your posts! We are pretty happy with the way things are going - for now, anyway! lol In the spring when difficult child was admitted to phospital, his lithium level was high and affecting his thyroid functions. He was taken off on an emergency basis and then his psychiatrist and I decided to keep him off to see if it would make any difference. There was no difference. Then, I wanted to see if we could withdraw the seroquel too, while he was in the safest place possible. I wanted to know if the medications were doing any good for difficult child. There was absolutely no difference at all in his mood and/or behavior. He was in psychiatric hospital for 30 days - he is now on welbutrin and this is the best we have seen him - ever. His psychiatrist (whom took difficult child on from old psychiatrist) said she never 100% believed the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis given by old psychiatrist. As we all know, I might be adding it back to the signature in the future, but for now I have removed it. I wonder if we will ever not be living "waiting for the other shoe to drop", but I guess we are just thankful for the days with no severe meltdown. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
