[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 67768, member: 2423"] Kids with BiPolar (BP) frequently have bad reactions to antidepressants. But a bad reaction to an antidepressant does not in and of itself lead to a diagnosis of BiPolar (BP). Kids without BiPolar (BP) can also have very bad reactions to antidepressants. by the way, Risperdal is not a mood stabilizer; it is an atypical antipsychotic used for the short term treatment of mania. It also helps with anxiety and aggression. The first-line mood stabilizers prescribed to treat BiPolar (BP) are Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Trileptal and Tegretol. Has your difficult child ever had a neuropsychological evaluation? That might give you valuable information on what's really going on. [/QUOTE]
