[QUOTE="Over, post: 303914, member: 7974"] Midwest Mom, I am very uneasy about her being off of the bipolar medications. The psychiatrist insisted it was for the best, and I recently found out that he removed her bipolar diagnosis from her diagnosis list on her chart when I asked for a paper with the diagnosis' in order to request and IEP at school. He did this without saying anything to me. There is no doubt in my mind that she is bipolar, and he diagnosed her 2 years ago with it. GCVMom, I definitely try to choose my battles. I have to, otherwise I'd be fussing at her constantly! Thank you for the link, I'm definitely going to check it out. Wiped Out, Thanks for the welcome! Susie Star, I can already tell that this board is going to be wonderful. I've felt like I'm the only one dealing with this, but now I see I'm not! Thank you so much for your wisdom. I've written several things down to talk to her doctor about! She was on Risperdal for 2 years. He took her off the summer of 2007 and she had hallucinations and horrible problems and almost ended up inpatient. He put her back on it, and then took her off again at the beginning of this Summer. His excuse, "We have to see how she does without it in case she can go off of it. The side effects are so bad that we need to." As a result our home life is horrible. No hallucinations this time around, but the ODD is really bad like I said. I feel like I walk on eggshells which is not good for me because I have PTSD. I did know about the antidepressants and have refused to have her put on them. GraceUponGrace, I feel the same, that there's a huge target on my back. *Sigh* Heather, Thank you for the welcome!! I never thought about it that way, but it makes sense! Terry, Thank goodness my husband is willing to share those responsibilities on the weekend. He is gone for 12 hours a day right now between commute and work. He gets home at 6 and we eat, bathe, and put the kids to bed. On the weekends I do get help with her. He gets a lot better response from her which frustrates and relieves me all at the same time.
