[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 461368, member: 12721"] I do agree. I pushed Mom to see if the docs would put her on the Risperdone. I assume there is a good reason they didn't. I'll have to clarify. You mentioned that often with TDD they prescribe a stimulant and SSRI- aren't SSRIs not good for younger people? And Risperidone is not an SSRI I do not believe, or is it? I know they prescribed Vyvanse partially because there is no risk for dependence or anything like that. Maybe since she's a teen they don't want to put her on anything that poses a risk for substance abuse. Not sure of course. Mom can't log in for some reason. Her password isn't working and she said she's waiting for a new one?? Otherwise she could clarify as necessary. I agree- but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. They have just increased her dosage. Maybe it will help. If not, I will push Mom to get something like Risperdone again. I'm sure she's gonna love me! :) They are all seeing the same doctor. And I completely agree that it makes no sense, especially knowing bipolar runs in the family. I truly believe it's all in the answers to questions the doctor asks.. and since Niece likes energy and not being tired, she maybe answered ?s tailored to what she thought they needed to hear to keep her on the ones that give her energy? No idea if this is true but it's what I think is highly possible. [/QUOTE]
