I didn't cause it!

The results are in! Jada's valproic acid level (some level in her blood that determines whether her mood stabilization medication is therapeutic or not) is where it should be so it is not the culprit behind her irritability and aggression.

So it's not my fault. Sure missing her meds was not good but she isn't suffering right now because of me!

So the course of action right now is to take her off the the medicine for her anxiety which is an antidepressant and leave her on her ADHD med which is also an antidepressant. And see if that helps. After that....not sure!

Jennifer, I don't know how you do it... It's hard enough keeping up with the diabetes, but all the other stuff would be so overwhelming. You are a rock star!

Thats GREAT news, Jennifer! With all that you go through the LAST thing you need to be worrying about is whether or not you are at fault for something like that. You do a WONDERFUL job with Jada!! We all know that - now, you can have some peace of mind as well. =)

((HUGS))
