[QUOTE="Christy, post: 302197, member: 225"] Welcome! I'm glad you've found us. As a mom of a bipolar child, I feel you pain, frustration, worry, etc... My son takes risperdal and it has been a good medicine for controlling his rages. He did very poorly on antidepressants as they caused a great deal of irritability. I know that some individuals with bipolar disorder can take antidepressants while others cannot. Have you see improvement with the prozac? Are things getting better, worse, the same? It helps to keep a journal of moods and behaviors so that you can begin to see a pattern or cycle if one exists. The book recommendations are good ones and should help shed some light on the struggle your daughter and your family is going through. In addition to this sight, my local NAMI chapter has been a huge source of support and understanding. I understand your relief at not being alone. Raising a difficult child can be an isolating experience. Look forward to hearing more from you, Christy [/QUOTE]
