[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 199516, member: 3419"] Hi Jennifer, I for one am relieved that you are not giving thorazine at this age. I recall your original note questioning it and I was worried about it then. The repetitious behavior very well could be Asperger's, but bipolar could be mixed in. Anxiety can go with-both. She's still so young ... it's so hard to tell when they're young, unless you have extremely clear signs and bio history, and your experiences sound mixed. Having doctors who want to cover their tails in writing is pretty typical. :) I would be focusing on the sleep issues, since with-bipolar and Asperger's, sleep is paramount. Heck, it affects regular folks! by the way, my son is taking clonidine and it works well to "take the edge off." I thought it was prescribed for sleep but it did nothing to make him sleepy, so we went to Vistaril, the antihistamine. (Both of these, by the way, are being used off label.) You may want to try the clonidine again sometime for the anxiety, rather than for sleep, since your daughter is getting older. I don't see anything in your profile about whether you daughter has allergies (milk, wheat, red dye etc.) but I would definitely keep any eye on that. Best of luck with-the new/old dr. Let us know when [/QUOTE]
