[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 285598, member: 1233"] As she has only taken it for two days I would call the doctor ASAP and insist that she come off of it. withdrawal shouldn't be an issue after just 2 days of treatment. The answer to your question is a wholehearted YES!!!!! If you are thinking it may be bipolar, go and get the book "The Bipolar Child" either at the library or the bookstore. It is invaluable. It describes how various medications act on a child who is bipolar. The book also described how children who are thought to be bipolar should be handled with regard to prescriptions. And it is ammo you can use with the doctor. I took it to the psychiatrist who thought my son was bipolar and said, "If he is bipolar why would we be adding antidepressants and not following the guidelines and stabilizing his mood first?" Our doctor got VERY quiet and then said that we should continue with the treatment in place. He didn't answer, but he also quit saying my son was bipolar (many docs explored this previously and he just isn't - but if he was I would fight to follow the guidelines because they exist for a reason!) I hope you can get this doctor to truly help you. I am sorry you are having this kind of trouble on top of the other stuff. [/QUOTE]
