[QUOTE="vmc123, post: 415842, member: 11483"] Thank you for all the kind words and support. My son (12)started show symptoms at about age 4. He has been diagnosis'd by several physc. docs and has had a neurosphysc. evaluation, along with extensive educational testing. He has BiPolar (BP) ,Adhd and learn disabilities His medications are lamital, klonopin, effexor, guanfacine and geodon. We just started changing is medication by adding the klonopin for anxiety and reducing the guanfacine and effexor. I'm 40, my husband is 45. We have a easy child (daughter) who is 9, and is starting to have a lot of stress over what my BiPolar (BP) son is causing. I also have a step daughter (19) that lives at home. She's a great kid, but has a teenage attitude. The family resents his behavior and what is does to the family. He has had a lot of difficulties in school with his Learning Disability (LD). I moved him from public to a private christian school this year. He was starting middle school. He has been at the school since the beginning of March.
