Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks so much for this info. I didn't realize how involved the treatment is for bipolar. He is on the AP (Abilify) now so maybe after he stabilizes, they will put him on a mood stabilizer. > > www.thebalancedmind.org has a great library of articles and online support > groups. > > > > About Medication > > > > For those difficult to stabilize kids, two MS medications and an AP worked > very well.
