[QUOTE="jal, post: 31082, member: 3477"] Welocme. I am on the new side too! We too have been walking on eggshells for 2.5 years. My difficult child is 4.5 and has been diagnosis with-early onset bipolar. He is on 7.5mg of Abilify. Luckily, insurance wise for Abilify my co-pay is $25, but I am in a several months long battle for reimbursement for a behaviorist who provided in home services (and was out of network) and now currently his new psychiatrist (who is also out of network). Luckily, his play therapist in covered. when do we relax, when do we say this is as good as it can get, at what point do we feel like we've got a grip (3 weeks, 3 months, 3 years)? I don't really have an answer for that one other than taking it day by day, because this is the beginning point. If this is truly what they have (Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP)) than life is going to be a series of ups and downs. How do you guys deal with going for several good days and then having a monster day? You are thankful for the good days and wade through the bad. I know it sounds "corny", but it's all I can say, as each day is a new adventure with our difficult child's. Luckily now, thanks to the Abilify, we are in a good place. No more calls from preschool to have him picked up. So we have been able to "relax" a bit. Oh, we still have our battles, but things have greatly improved. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
