I was just curious to know how your daughters appointment went today. I hope the doctor was helpful.

Let us know, ok?

Thanks for asking. I wasn't too happy. actually am looking for new pdoc. Insurance problems - company only uses the practice / clinic that they own.

Kid's not doing well. I asked about the .5 lithium and the 30 depakote level. Daughter also conveyed that she felt unstable, not right, agitated,etc.

Well pdoc said she doesn't want to make any changes now. Said that at some point, she would like to take her off one of the stablizers and maximize the other one - or a different one - I'm not clear. What irked me was that she said come back in 2 or 3 months. Why wait 3 months to start a change?

My kid is suffering now. She goes to weekly therapy. I believe that the right med comination would make a tremendous difference. How can the talk therapy work when her brain, body, and chemicals are out of wack?

I am so mad!

Oh I am so sorry! Sometimes it takes a while to find the right dosage. But I have found that it takes even longer to find the right PDOC!!!!

You have every RIGHT to be angry! What a stupid thing to do. What does he think will happen in 3 months.

Yup, find her a new PDOC ASAP.

I really hope she finds the right doctor and the right combo of meds.

Please keep us posted.
