[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 142184"] My difficult child had the same diagnosis as yours, plus ODD. That was the worst. It was changed last year. IEP...a must. School is a constant struggle, but they (school) finally know they are not going to push difficult child or me around. I will call them on it in a heartbeat. I second the motion on checking into mood stabalizers. I wouldn't have any other medications until stable on mood stabalizer, then introduce if needed. Mood stabalizer did wonders for us. Helped him recognize his own moods, when anxiety or frustration was setting in. Helped him with realizing the mood coming on before he reacted. IEP also addresses that issue. He was took this for years. That is my opinion. I do honestly believe without the mood stabalizer things would not be where they are today. This is only OUR experience. He still had bad days. But sooooo many good ones. Even though psychiatrist gave bipolar diagnosis, at the time I believed in him. I do not believe that was the case. How can he have that diagnosis, then have it removed. ODD was never removed. difficult child is on Concerta only starting last fall when mood stabalizer was removed. difficult child says it helps. Teachers are back and forth. He doesn't take it when not in school so I rarely see him when he does take it. Hope you are able to get an IEP. [/QUOTE]
