[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 460755, member: 12721"] KSM- I am definitely interested in hearing how this medication helps your daughter. Did they diagnose her as bipolar, or are they just treating her with medication [I]for[/I] bipolar? Please keep us updated. My Niece has demonstrated many of the traits you describe your daughter as having and my Mom has expressed her worry to Niece's docs- they said they can't diagnose bipolar until the age of 19?! And my Niece's Mom is bipolar, along with my biodad, my uncle, and my aunt. Given the genetics/heredity involved, you'd think they could at least consider it, or use a medication that treats it if they can't formally diagnose it- I truly think my Niece's life depends on it. If my 10 year old nephew and 8 yr old niece are on Risperidone, which I believe is used for bipolar- I don't see why we can't at least try it and see if it helps. My mom is currently trying to get Niece in to see her doctor for a medication change. Every other attempt she's made has not worked out because Niece took off with the toxic friend we need to get her away from. She's currently on Vyvanse and Intuniv for focus.. but we think she needs something for bipolar like symptoms+anger. Problem is, she doesn't like any medicine that makes her tired. She will probably try and hide it.. for whatever reason she likes to stay up all night and if a medication makes her tired, she hates it and will say it doesn't work. Ugh. Good luck to you, and I'll follow this post for updates from you! [/QUOTE]
