[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 19047, member: 1697"] totoro: I am not gonna bash your doctor, LOL- cuz you know why..LOL......same doctor as us. And yes, out of countless docs, way more than 10 psychiatrists alone.....this doctor did best by us. And whle we do not have to get on a plane to go to the doctor, it is still 2+ hours each way for us. And in my opinion, well worth it. No, my kids are no longer on any medications----and it was with the docs agreement to try this for us.....no, my kids are not perfect off medications.....I just wanted to toss it out there this doctor does not Rx cavalierly. And this doctor is HIGHLY respected in the world of Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) research. I do not know what the magic answers are, thats for sure. I do` know my dtr was short and slender due not at all to genetics when she was younger, but due to use of stims. She was far more slender than ANYONE on either side of family, and far shorter. While we have trialed nearly all psychiatric medications, we did NOT trial respirdal......altho dtr DID use Seroquel for quite a time. ANd while on seroquel she did gain weight and while both sides of family run heavy- she is by far the heaviest. SHORTER than everyone and HEAVIER than everyone. by far. Even on low doses of seroquel. As for Lamictal, she could not tolerate side effects at even 12.5 mgs. She was also trialed on a microdose of Lithium, but she did not do well with side effects on that, either and it made doctor nervous becuz the docs have never been able to get a blood draw out of my` dtr. Not even under sedation. I mostly posted just to offer my moral support. Hang in there. Keep communicating ith doctor........Hugs. [/QUOTE]
