[QUOTE="Jody, post: 357537, member: 8787"] She has been hospitalized 5 times, and seen all kinds of doctors. They have agreed it is behavior combined with odd and adhd. one said ptsd and took her off everyting but an anti-depressant. She takes abilify 10 mgs in the morning 10 at night, she takes adderall xr 40 mgs in the morning and she takes wellbuterin 300 mgs per day. They do not want to label her BiPolar (BP) but believe she might be there. I don't see any days that she is happy though, so I wonder. One therapist at the hospital, said she rapid cycles many times within an hour and it is obvious to him, others don't see it. Some of the medicines that they use are ones that are used for bipolar. when she doesn't take anti-depressant medication, she wants to hurt herself, when she doesn't take the adhd medicine she will hurt herself, because there is no impulse control at all and she can;t function or think and she is just way out there. I don't know what to do, and I guess they don't either. They don't seem willing to try anything else. Do you have an idea why or how to get her treatment? What kind of treatment are you talking about? I am glad for any suggestions. I must say I am exhaustd by all of this, as so many are, if the mental health professionals don't see this how do I get them to see it? HELP. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
