[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 85030"] That's very, very fast for a neuropsychologist evaluation. They typically do 6-12 hours of [i]testing[/i] and then additional time with parent input and going over results. My difficult child had 6 hours of testing and the neuropsychologist said she could do more if we needed more info. You seem to keep finding psychiatrists that want to treat your children as one child instead of individuals. Maybe they need their own individual psychiatrist? Might be easier said than done depending on the number of child psychiatrists in your area. I'm confused, though. He said he wants to treat the BiPolar (BP) then treat the ADHD (which is right from what I've read), but the BiPolar (BP) isn't stable and he's added an ADHD medication. Strattera, if memory serves, is an antidepressant not a stimulant. Plus, as you and other's have mentioned, you're children have responded to it negatively before. Didn't Carl Jung define insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Plus, risperdal is an anti-psychotic, not a mood stabilizer. He seems to be moving very fast with all these changes. I don't envy your position. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
