[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 23310, member: 2322"] Sounds a bit like my youngest son, minus the tea party. I get so worn out by all the emotional reactivity of it all. We found that Abilify really helped the impulsiveness which was over the top. He can't do stimulants (unlike my other son whom they work miracles on.) So it might be worth reading up on that one before you see psychiatrist on Monday. I would think that with existing diagnosis etc she will take you seriously. We have found it useful to boil everything down into about two easy to read pages. Symptoms, medications tried so far, doctors consulted with diagnosis, Occupational Therapist (OT). just put it on paper with the dates etc. makes it easier when you go to see new psychiatrist. I guess the question is what experience your new psychiatrist has with Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP). You might ask how frequently the psychiatrist sees it, what medications they tend to start with, whether she thinks your daughter's case is severe enough that she needs to go to a special mood disorders clinic, anything that will give you some sense of where she is coming from. Good luck. we just started my youngest on Trileptal last week. Started at 150 at night, now adding in another 150 in the morning. So far nothing bad, but nothing good yet either... Let us know what the psychiatrist says. [/QUOTE]
