[QUOTE="klmno, post: 100508, member: 3699"] Oh- difficult child's behavior is a lot better- most significantly, at school. Social skills made HUGE leaps- he actually has a couple of friends I like and they've had NO arguments yet!! At home, better- it seems to vary with medications, like raging went away with lithium, then appears to be coming back with Depakote, but restlessness and resulting "I can't stay in the house" was a problem until Depakote was added, now that is better. Worst thing- previous good grades have PLUMETED. It's all I can do to get him through homework and school projects- not so much that he's refusing outright, it's more not concentrating, not having confidence, procrastinating, - I wondering if it's a result of cycling (which seems to be happening a lot since school started) or if it's "cognitive dulling" which I read can happen on mood stabilizers. I wish I could find a solution for this so he doesn't end up behind in school. Grades used to never be an issue. [/QUOTE]
