[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 735153, member: 1550"] Is this an older doctor?? I would never put any child on Haldol and your son is already on a ton of medication. I have personally been on psychiatric medications from age 23 to now at 64. I would be afraid that this much medication would be dangerous. I am only on one medication every night and one PRN. The few times I was overmedicated it was scary. I won't elaborate but....it's not fun. i would get a new psychiatrist who is younger and aware of the newer treatments for mental illnesses. There are treatments now that don't even involve medication, certainly not so much. I wish they had had them back in the day. Your doctor already has him on two mood stabilizers, a stimulant and Latuda which is rife with side effects. Maybe the medications themselves are making him worse, not better. medications are a crap shoot and them making a patient worse, not better, is NOT rare. At 13 nobody knows for sure what is really wrong with your son. He may turn out to have something other than bipolar. Your doctor wants YOU to pick his medication???? He is supposedly the doctor! Do you think your son on six medications is okay??? Please keep your son safe. Get another psychiatrist. I sure would if this were my child. [/QUOTE]
