[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 442193, member: 3419"] Hi Txchic38, welcome. THere are several people here whose kids have been diagnosis'd with-eating disorders, but they had different dxes. Hopefully, they will see this note. I agree with-Crazymama and TeDo, that you need a better evaluation from a psychiatrist, and also a neurologist. Also, as you know, you cannot depend upon drugs alone, you must do behavior modification. And also be aware that some of the medications take wks to take effect. I like to try one or two medications at a time and not be overwhelmed, because it's too hard to tell which one did what. medications and therapy together are usually the key. Is your son in the psychiatric unit? That would be most helpful. Also, be aware that hospitals tend to discharge in a hurry, especially if your ins. isn't what they want. Sad to say, it has no correlation to your sons progress or outcome. So most hospital visits are going to give you a little bit to work with- but more questions in the end. It's going to take mo's and yrs of detective work but you can do it. It's good to know that bipolar is on one side of the family. But that doesn't guarantee that's what your son has. Had the Daytrana helped him? Or does it make him more agitated? If he is bipolar you don't want him on Prozac or Zoloft, fwiw. Again, others who have bipolar or whose kids have it will weigh in here and give you more info. I'm so sorry your [/QUOTE]
