My daughter was originally dx'd with ADHD and cyclothymia, a new psychiatrist she saw two days ago says she does not have ADHD and doesn't believe in cyclothymia as a real diagnosis. She feels that my 10 yr. old is showing early signs of being bipolar. I see a lot of mood and coping probs but not to the extreme that I read/see about
bipolar.
She wants my daughter to take Abilify instead of AdderallXR. She gave me some sample meds to try her on, 5mg and she is supposed to take half of that.
Does anyone know how this medication will affect her?
Thanks.
