[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 460759, member: 3444"] Orcaauntie, the staying-up-all-night is also part of the bipolar package (think manic or hypomanic). Seroquel can help with that, but often times it's not enough by itself. Unfortunately, trial and error is the only way to get through it and know for sure what's going to work. KSM, you are on the right track for your difficult child and doing everything you can. The younger these kids are when they get into treatment the better because they don't get a chance to start some of those bad behaviors and you can work on helping them to accept their diagnosis and normalize the medication routine. I wouldn't discuss the side effects of the medications with her either. Just focus on all the positives that will come from taking care of herself. [/QUOTE]
