[QUOTE="horserider, post: 310510, member: 8054"] Thanks for the info, replies. I am going to copy some of the text from crazymeds for my difficult child and send it in a letter. He basically speaks the langauge anyway. Coming from someone with- BiPolar (BP) diagnosis may be very powerful as he has never had advice from someone who struggles with the same issues that he does. This could really help change his mind....wow how helpful this site is and you wonderful parents that have been there. Compassion, your statement "there really is part of the brain that lacks any awareness of the illness" I can surely relate to. I asked my difficult child, to do some reflective thinking, do you think you would be where you are right now if you would have stayed on your medications? "Having to take the medications means I'm stupid", difficult child said. I reminded him that we raised him to never view his diagnosis in relation to how intelligent he is. A very bright child. Straterra sent our son to the hospital, for him stimulants actually help with a mood stabilizer. The next week or so will be interesting, I'll let you know if were successful. Take care me, 49- okay I admitted it, xanex, celexa husband - type 1, supportive adoptive father difficult child - nearly 17, only child - BiPolar (BP), adhd - intelligent, loving child [/QUOTE]
