[QUOTE="givnmegryhr, post: 25486, member: 2113"] My son is BiPolar (BP),adhd, odd. You have to start with a mood stabilizer when BiPolar (BP) is involved. When we started this journey the neuro started with adhd medications. They caused him to be worse, his hyperactivity was through the roof. With BiPolar (BP) that is what happens on the stims. The fact that he is BiPolar (BP) should tell your psychiatrist that. Is he a pediatric psychiatrist? This makes a big difference because BiPolar (BP) presents itself differently in kids . Regardless though, with a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis you start with a MS. I would find a new psychiatrist that specializes in BiPolar (BP). The stims are doing more harm than good . It has been mentioned to get the book The Bipolar Child by Demetri and Janice Papolos. They have done extensive research on child BiPolar (BP) ,going to parents of BiPolar (BP) formums , getting info right from the horses mouth so to speak. They also have a website with wonderful info more focused on early onset BiPolar (BP). [url="http://www.bipolarchild.com/"]http://www.bipolarchild.com/[/url] If your daughters psychiatrist wont listen please find a new one. And as far as her telling you the medications are making her feel worse. I believe her. This would make total sense. Once the mood is stabilized you might find the adhd gets better or it could be more prevalent, but it is still important to get the ms in place first.Good luck . I hope you find a psychiatrist that listens. [/QUOTE]
