[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 279916, member: 2459"] I would suggest a medication wash for this girl. I'm assuming she's still in foster care and I don't know what kind of acess you have but they need to do something. I don't have much faith in the foster system when it comes to psychiatric medications. We got our difficult child as a foster son when he was 9. At the time, he was on Tenex, Adderall and Zoloft and had a diagnosis of ADHD and depression. We found out within a year that yes he is ADHD but was also Bipolar. That medication combo wasn't doing squat for the BiPolar (BP). He was hospitalized, taken off all medications and they started over. It didn't fix everything but it definately made a difference in his overall health. I also later found out that he had already been diagnosis'd with BiPolar (BP) but NO ONE KEPT UP ON IT. At one time, he had been on the CORRECT medications but for whatever reason (I was never able to find out) he was taken off and put on stuff that made him rage. No wonder previous foster/pre-adoptive parents couldn't control him. I'm not as up as some of the others here on the various medications/interractions/uses but yeah, personally I think she needs a medication wash and a good psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
