Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hi Rondy, well these days they do indeed dx kids with bipolar! I'm glad you have now gotten an accurate diagnosis for your son. That will make all the difference in finding the right meds at the right doses for him. I hope he is improving on the seroquel and lexapra, which btw I haven't heard of before this--let us know how he does.
