[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 199073, member: 1514"] Jenn... Im going to answer your post this one last time and then Im simply going to quit doing so. Maybe most people here will think I am being mean...who knows. I am trying to be helpful. From what I have read from you since you have been here you have taken your child to numerous places to have her evaluated. I have lost count. You seem to keep looking for some magic answer that only you will understand but I dont think you even know what you are looking for at any given point. You question everything the doctors tell you even when so many agree with what they say. If it quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck. Or better yet, if you hear hoof beats think horses first not zebras. If you continue on taking your kid from pillar to post getting evaluation after evaluation all you will do is get the evaluation of the week. You wont be any closer to finding out what is really wrong with her. She will just be getting older and older and you still wont have tried any medications. She still wont be getting any interventions or therapy. She will still be disrupting your life and hers and her school life will be disrupted. Eventually she will become older and this will become tiresome to her and she will rebel. She will refuse to do this anymore. You have a kid on your hands now that is exhibiting all the classic signs of bipolar disorder. Insomnia, hypomania, grandiose thinking, anxiety, irritability, sleep disorders, etc. Do you want this to go on or do you want to attempt to treat this now? Pick a doctor...stick with them long enough for them to actually work with you and prescribe medication. Give the medication time to work. 6 to 8 weeks is a normal time frame. Stop listening to the schools or your neighbors or even the trashman. Dont tell them what she is on. None of their business. Take my advice or dont. Really doesnt matter to me one way or another. Its not me you are driving batty but its yourself and your child. You are denying your child a stable home life. [/QUOTE]
