I wish that I had done that. Drugs are an even bigger enemy than bipolar. <br /><br /><br />When my bipolar daughter was 16 she started to drink and do drugs. It took me another 4 years to find out. The shrinks thought that it was the bipolar getting worse. <br /><br />Now I know that a hair test could have told us what many urine tests did not. The hair tests go back several months not just 24 to 48 hours. <br /><br />I hope you never need this information but it could have made a real difference in our lives.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04382717273926292379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795982478040674572.post-50068600122687471442010-01-16T06:28:48.440-08:002010-01-16T06:28:48.440-08:00Yes, I understand about trying to figure out which...Yes, I understand about trying to figure out which medicine is doing what.

But I want her off the vyvanse for at least a week before we do anything else new so I know what is happening with what medicine.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486021077565232145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795982478040674572.post-15713482697230429422010-01-15T05:29:46.382-08:002010-01-15T05:29:46.382-08:00Take her off the Vyvanse!

And I agree about public high school--we would lose Caroline too. We are doing everything we can to keep her in private as long as we can afford too.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386058494236428900noreply@blogger.com
