[QUOTE="Steely, post: 242549, member: 3301"] Janna just read your other post here. Yep, you gotta find a new psychiatrist ASAP. Does the medical school there in PA have any bi-polar research going on right now? Or a psychiatrist that just graduated medication school? That is how I finally found one that really listened to me. She was young, fresh, and open to new ideas. The challenges that Matthew exhibited did not bore her, and bother her - but she embraced them with research and new ideas. I loved her to death. AND she called me back [U]always[/U] within 24 hours - plus I had her cell phone for emergencies. That was what I needed to have in order to feel comfortable working with a psychiatrist. And I am sure you do to - you are just going to have to dig to find the right one. They are out there though. Matthew has NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and BiPolar (BP) and that combo together, is oh so difficult. It needs a highly component psychiatrist to work with these kids. Whatever you do, like others have said, do not give into the ADs. Actually Buspar has a very, very low level of efficacy. It just barely touches anxiety, and it will do absolutely nothing for any of the other symptoms he is having. In fact it could be making the mania worse. Is there a phoshp he can stay in to get his medications back on track? He does not deserve to feel as manic as to put his head thru a window. Matthew has done that twice and both times he was hospitalized immediately because his mania just kept spiraling and spiraling. Thinking about you, and hoping things get resolved soon. [/QUOTE]
