Thanks to all so far that have given me hope and encouragment with my 5 yr old bipolar daughter. We started lithium yesterday and so far not much difference. I guess it takes awhile for it to level off in her system before we will notice a difference if any. I am still hestitant to give her the celexa. She had a bad reaction to the prozac which is an ssri and she is a very rapid cycler which indicates that an ssri medication is not that well suited for her. I am only going to give her the lithium for now. I figure one med at a time is enough right now. Besides if she started both meds at the same time then if she developes a reaction. I won't know what drug caused it.
