Smile I am a newbie here but deal with bipolar daily

My heart goes out to you. I am raising a grandchild who is ADHD, Bipolar, OCD, ODD, and suffers from PTSD. Finding the right meds for your child is very important, if the ones he is on does not work have your Doctor try something else. My little one is on Concerta, Geodon, Celexa, and Clonidine for sleep. That seems like a lot but it works for her. We have been through the rages, mood swings, depression, etc. It is not easy. My daughter has a child that is suffering from the same problems as my child and they are on different meds because they work different with different children. You need to find a group or a person you are confortable with to talk to about your life with a disabled child (and he is disabled). The Flex 504 is for children like ours that are not learning disabled but other health empared. Is very good program and gives your child some safety nets at school.
