NOV

2007

My 16 yr old daughter is Bi Polar, she also has an eating disorder. You combine those two things togather and finding medications that control mood swings, that can be taken with other medications long term and does not cause weight gain is almost impossible. As a nurse I did not want her to be on lithium because of the frequent blood test needed to insure proper lithium levels and it is know to cause a fine acne (kinda like a baby gets). After multiple failures on meds or her refusing other because of potential weight gain I agreed to let her take the lithium. I am so happy with her result, I have my daughter back. She is stable on her moods, and as happy as a teenager is capable of being, this may not sound like a big thing, but I assure you "normal' teenage drama is a welcome change in our home.
