[QUOTE="Janna, post: 28236, member: 2737"] I think irregardless of being Cyclothmic or having BiPolar (BP), the fact remains your difficult child has a mood disorder, and that is what you should treat first. Dylan started on stims first, alone, and none of them helped matters any. He has been on his BiPolar (BP) medications for a year and a half, and we are only now slowly integrating Concerta cautiously. Also, as Smallworld said, alot of the hyperactivity could be mania. Indeed, once we got Dylan on the Lithium/Abilify mix, his hyperactivity went way down (although it didn't help with the focus). This is probably a good way to go. Yes, it's a slower process, but in the long run, it may be well worth it. Janna [/QUOTE]
