As for the musical med situation, you're about average, or even below average in med switches.
After I posted my message and then read others I realized I had left out some meds I had forgotten that he had even taken.
it *did* seem like ages until she stabilized.
My son has not stabalized as of yet, at least it doesn't seem that way to me. I guess the big question is: what are reasonable expectations! He has a short fuse, and has trouble keeping still. He has been crying lately but I am presuming it is because the Wellbutrin did not kick in yet.
I imagine that you've found some sort of talking therapist too? It's essential for ADHD and bipolar, especially when it includes education and specifically learning how to recognize mood shifts and triggers thereof.
You are right about going. We have not been seeing a talking therapist but I know we should. As of lately his condition has been stressing me out so much that I have getting ill and I never get sick. My insurance allows me to go to one group in town and I had so much trouble with them, they were so incompetent. I will have to find someone else and pay the 40% out of pocket.
I can recommend a few if you're interested.
Yes, I can use a group that has similar obstacles. I was going to ask his pdoc if she knew of a group. She has started a group at her office for teens, but I would like a group that I could attend also.
Thanks, M.
