I shared with the Dr. that I don't think H medicine has been working for about 2 weeks. H hasn't been sleeping well, she has been very emotional at school, and has even been defiant at home. We've also noticed more hyper activity than ever.
According to our Dr. it can take SEVERAL, even up to 20, times to get medicines correct for a bi polar person. Its a chemical balance that needs to be attained and unfortunately there is no "standard" formula that will work for everyone. Its a process of trial and error. Trying things and finding something that works for that particular person.
Yesterday we were given a brand new drug called intunive and the daytranna patch.
I always look up H meds when we get home. I immediately realized both of these meds are for ADHD. I believe the intunive will also help with mood stabilization but have a call in to the Dr. this morning just to double check. We have learned that medicines originally for other things work as mood stabilizers. Who knew?!
After another rough morning, although not as bad as yesterday we started the intunive. I'll wait for the Dr. return call before I fill the daytranna patch.
