31st August 2006
I am 40 and diagnosis Bipolar I and ADHD for the past 8 years. I take Adderall XR 25mg, Zoloft 200mg (AM) and Lorazepam (same as Clonidine) .5mg, Seroquel 200mg, Lithium 600mg and Topomax 150mg (PM). It took several years, 3 doctors and 24 medications changes to get me stable and able to work and enjoy life. These are VERY TOUCH DISEASES!!!! They can cause death if not handled with a lot of support and patience by many loved ones and friends over long period of time. My advice to you is BE PATIENT, BE PERSISTANT WITH THE DOCTOR FOR ANSWERS AND SUPPORT, don't expect too much from your daughter until you find out exactly what's wrong and what she is capable of in her current state, GET OTHER OPINIONS, KEEP TALKING TO PEOPLE HERE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ALREADY!!! Best of luck! In time and with love she will keep getting better and better, because in 2006 we have very good treatments for all of these issues.
