[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 36776, member: 1550"] Unfortunately, nobody can know what medication will help your child. Although the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) may not bother you as much as the bipolar, I strongly recommend getting INTENSIVE Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) interventions in place. If she becomes stable, then the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) could impede his ability to be a functioning adult--you kind of have to attack both disorders on their own levels. I can't tell you what will help your child the most, but we have had good luck with Lamictal and with discontinuing both antidepressants and stimulants. On the news today, there are more warnings about antidepressants in kids. I wish the doctors didn't ignore these warnings. So many kids seem to get worse/rageful/suicidal on antidepressants, but psychiatrists prescribe them like crazy anyways. Good luck finding the right mix for you and look into school interventions for autism because that never goes away and bipolar can actually BE Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), untreated. We had that.
