[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 63385, member: 696"] Hi and welcome. Is your difficult child being managed by a primary doctor or a psychiatrist? Hopefully it's a psychiatrist who has experience in teenage BiPolar (BP). There is a school of thought that starting with an atypical antipsychotic as a first line medication or monotherapy is one way of tx BiPolar (BP). Most are usually treated with a cocktail of medications. IE: once you get the mood stabilized (mood stabilizer) the anxiety shows up, so you treat that, then they need a medication to sleep because the mind is still racing. There's alot of information on this site and in the archives. Read and post as much as you can. [/QUOTE]
