[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 563716, member: 1514"] Lithium is the gold standard for bipolar. If it works well for her she will be so lucky. That is one of the cheaper medications and as we all know, once they get on their own, sometimes money is one of the issues that can cause them not to be able to continue on medications. I will give you a few pointers about lithium to pass on to her. Drink plenty of water. Dont change salt intake. Lithium is a salt so whatever she uses now, keep using. Dont increase it or decrease it. I would advise you to look up on Amazon for some age appropriate books on girls with bipolar. Uplifting ones. Im also pretty sure there are websites like bipolarworld or something similar to that where she could meet others to chat with. I cant remember if that is the name because I havent been there in ages. Once she learns that she doesnt have a life sentence...though it really is...the better off she will be. She is young and getting treatment early on is so much better. I wish someone had caught me early. I showed all the signs when I was 5 or 6. If I had gotten treatment then I would have lead a far different life. [/QUOTE]
