[QUOTE="klmno, post: 199360, member: 3699"] I don't want to suggest that a psychiatrist put her on these, or that you push for it- they can have different and bad effects for young children and I'm certainly no psychiatrist, but if there is question about a Bipolar diagnosis, I am wondering why nothing like a first-line MS has been tried. Again, it might be due to her age and size and it might be due to side effects or questionable diagnosis. I [I]think[/I] the first line mood stabilzers include lithium, lamictol, depakote, tegratol, trileptol and topomax. AP's are used a lot for add ons or when there is a mood disorder that is not otherwise specified, I think. But, I am not certain. I can tell you that difficult child does not respond well to AP's, but has seen benefit from MS's. [/QUOTE]
