[QUOTE="Sgwindsor, post: 46570, member: 1798"] Good morning, Thanks to all of you! Yes, I did read up on Trileptal and we are going to try it, starting tomorrow. Because difficult child has had so many reactions to medications, I thought it better to wait until he is out of school for a few days and this is a long weekend. I don't know what will change in a year, but apparently bipolar can be diagnosed at 8 and he is just 7. I suppose we should make the appointment soon so that he can be seen when he is 8. IOL is not the only place that has mentioned this. He was observed by a neuropsychiatrist spring of last year. I had a second opinion last summer by another neuropsychiatrist last summer who felt his psychiatrist was medicating better than he(psychiatrist had tried brand new Daytrana and the psychiatrist hadn't tried it yet) and checking in more than he would be. The school requested another evaluation this winter by a behavioral psychologist so he was observed a few times and we filled out paperwork again. So, to wait a year for another evaluation is probably a good plan. I will let you know how it goes! Suzanne [/QUOTE]
