Outrageous experience with my daughter's PD's office...

[BeHereNow]

14. Our GP specializes in treating BP.

I love him.
He has more BP patients than any physician in the city.
He is extremely knowledgable and I'm sticking with him for now.
The old doc is history.

He gave her Zanax for short term use because she had not
slept a full night for nearly 6 weeks- insomnia ADR from Risperidol
and then Abilify.

I know it takes time, and time is all I have right now.
Thankfully, she and I are extremely close and can work together on the solution.

Tonight will be her second night on Depakote-
Doc said it takes 4 or 5 days in most cases to see therapeutic results.
So we watch and wait.

Hopefully it will work as intended- it is very frustrating for both of us
to see medication after medication FAIL to help.

Good news about advancements in treating BP that you may or may not be aware of-

Brain imaging can now monitor the effects of medication in treating BP.
This is a major breakthrough for doctors and patients alike!

Thanks for your support MM,
