[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 403923, member: 2423"] Jen, if your daughter has bipolar disorder, Zyprexa treats that as well. If you read all the books about BiPolar (BP) in children, you will see that kids need medications plus therapy. Those medications include a mood stabilizer (Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Trileptal, Tegretol) plus an atypical antipsychotic like Zyprexa. There is very little chance you can stabilize a child with BiPolar (BP) without those medications. Why would you threaten that stability if you've gotten halfway there? I understand that Zyprexa -- like all the APs -- has side effects, but so does a long-term eating disorder that threatens your daughter's heart. You have to do a cost-benefit analysis, and I'd take medication side effects over a life-threatening heart condition. [/QUOTE]
