Thank you Beckett! I will look into Fanapt. Haven't heard of it - and haven't seen it show up in the research I've been doing during the last week or so.

Do you mean because she's a teenager? Believe me, that has been a stressful dilemma for me the entire time. I always question:
- How much is due to the state of adolescence?
- How much is due to ADHD?
- How much is due to bipolar?It is so frustrating to have so many overlapping symptoms (i.e. impulsivity is common to all three!)
I just want my baby to be okay. She was doing so wonderfully for so long... so this is just really hard for me. It's not a boo-boo I can kiss and make go away. :-(
