[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 24962, member: 3527"] Thank you, all, very much for the warm welcome. Yes, as a few of you pinpointed, I DID mean Bipolar. I guess I was just thinking Borderline (BPD) BiPolarDisorder...sorry for this misunderstanding. The first question to address is the stims for a child with mood disorders...you are asking the EXACT question that her current PDR refuses to discuss with me!! I know WHY she prescribed the stims to help with ADHD, but much like another parent asking this exact same question last night on the forums . . . with all these other problems at surface, WHY do they consider controlling the ADHD the most important??? ESPECIALLY when it makes the symptoms of her BiPolar (BP) and ODD much more severe?? Second thing, someone mentioned PTSD, which her PDR has told us she has, but has not offered any information or advice on this. I am getting more familiar with the others, like ADHD, BiPolar (BP), and ODD, but the PTSD is the only one that I have not researched yet. I know that she has "night terrors" but she is making progress, because since she has been living with us, she has been terror free. I feel in a sense lucky that with everything else going on, we have not had to add that to the mix. For her and for us as well. The biggest reason is, because as difficult as our days are, at least right now, everyone is still getting their sleep. Including our difficult child, who is taking a very small dose 5mg of Clonodine to help fight off those pesky bad dreams. We believe the "night terrors" were probably a symptom of the PTSD, but cannot really be sure until we learn more about it. We have been so consumed with trying to learn and remember everything they are telling us as it is, and the more they label her, the more difficult it gets. Well, more from me later tonight!!
