Your daughter has ADHD and bipolar she is on 40mg of Vyvanse and 12mg serequel all the sudden she is behaving strange what are some other options besides serequel?

Let me begin by saying that I hope your daughter is being followed by a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner that specializes in working with children. I am not a doctor, however I have worked with individuals, of all ages, with a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. A diagnosis of bipolar disorder and ADHD is not uncommon, but it can be difficult to treat, because many medications used to treat ADHD can trigger Bipolar Mania. I would not be surprised if the vyvanse triggers symptoms of mania at various times of the year. I would continue taking seroquel, discontinue the vyvanse, and start Straterra. Honestly, (again, I am not a physician) the only ADHD med that I trust, with an individual who has Bipolar, is Straterra. Straterra is not typically prescribed to children, however it is the only medication that treats ADHD which is not a stimulant. Check out my previous post about Bipolar Treatments: What are effective treatments for bipolar disorder Be well.


Is Abilify prescribed for ADHD?

Not as a standard treatment. Typically Abilify (aripiprazole) is used for conditions such as bipolar mood disorder. There have been some studies looking at using it in ADHD, but they are just in the research phase. So, in a few years, this may be something else to try, but for now, most physicians stick to one of the standard classes of medications. In someone who has bipolar and ADHD both, this might be a possible treatment now. ! Dr. B.
