[QUOTE="luvmyottb, post: 241664"] She was on Depakote and Abilify. When psychiatrist and I took her off, he warned me that she may do well for a while, but the moods could fluctuate and there may come a time she may need another stablilizer. They definitely helped her sleep before. She would be in bed and almost immediately be asleep and never hear the alarm clock in the morning. She bedwet almost every night her sleep was so deep. Now she is dry and can awaken on her own, most of the time. I have a call into psychiatrist. I won't hear back until Friday. We arent seeing a therapist right now, because I can't find one I like. I have some anxiety thinking it maybe it is some mood cycling and I hate the thought of placing her back on stablizers. I should know better, I wouldn't keep a diabetic child from insulin. Why would I keep her from a drug she may need? Well, I wouldn't, but I just hate the thought of having to go back to the pills and side effects. Everthing else is working so positively for her right now being off the medications and frankly she isn't nearly as mean and aggressive as when she was on the medications. [/QUOTE]
