[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 159044"] FWIW... My difficult children doctor will not prescribe clonodine for her patients with bipolar disorder, but we have never discussed why. Our child has had good luck with Seroquel...but it does make her sleepy. She uses it primarily to help her sleep. Not sure what classification Geodon is in...but I recall being surprised when it caused her extreme agitation. I remember how the Dr. thought it would be a great medication for her and how the Dr. was getting good results with other patients. Wow...it was a huge problem for our child. Our daughter was on Trileptal for awhile and only got minimal help with that medication. She was switched to Lamictal and it does seem to be a better match for her. Hopefully the doctors. do the best they can with the prescribing information and then make decisions based on experience. But the trial and error part of this can be disheartening. However...all we can do is try our best. The last thing our kids and our families need is a few more rides on the roller coaster...so stay strong and make sure you 1) have a back up plan 2) wont hesitate to call the dr. if something goes wrong 3) have a good support system in place.
