[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 433976, member: 3444"] LOL -- I shouldn't laugh but I know the feeling about waiting for and EXPECTING the other shoe to drop. I posted a while ago how I couldn't even enjoy normal moments of happiness in my kid(s) because somewhere in my twisted experience I'm expecting it to morph into mania. It can't be helped. I just want to point out that my difficult child 2 cannot function with Depakote alone to control aaallll the manic/hypomanic symptoms. We had his valproic acid levels checked and he was perfectly fine. Why then was he bouncing off the walls every day by 4pm as if he'd missed his afternoon Seroquel XR (which he hadn't)? No answer to that one, but he's doing better now for some equally unexplained reason. So I see you've got your difficult child 2 on Geodon I'm guessing as the other piece in the bipolar cocktail, and I have to ask if you think THAT particular medication is doing it's job effectively, or do you think either the dosage amount or a replacement should be considered? Another thought is maybe he'd do better on the extended release Depakote? As for my kiddos... eh, it's a day to day thing, isn't it? Just when I think one has turned a corner, something NEW pops up to be dealt with. We'll be back to see the psychiatrist next week and the timing couldn't be better because of concerns I have for both boys. Not major stuff, but more like the sense that that strange noise I'm hearing off in the distance shouldn't be ignored because it's actually a freight train that will eventually knock me off the tracks if I don't look up now. Sigh. I hope you get closer to the right medication mix for your difficult child 2 SOON. [/QUOTE]
