[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 127751, member: 2423"] With all due respect to Mikey's opinion on the medications, I have a different view based on my kids, their dxes and their medications. SMX has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which trumps all the other dxes in the treatment department. Once the bipolar disorder is adequately treated, then you see what residual symptoms remain. We found that once my son's mood disorder was treated with two mood stabilizers and an atypical antipsychotic, his ADHD-like inattention and anxiety symptoms improved to the point that we no longer needed to treat them individually. Frequently, the medications that treat ADHD (stimulants) and panic disorder (SSRI antidepressants) actually destabilize the patient with BiPolar (BP) and make the symptoms much, much worse. This is all my long way of saying that it really does depend on the primary diagnosis in making medication choices. [/QUOTE]
