The Helpfulness of an Online Bipolar Child Support Group

I joined an online support group through CABF and it has been a wonderful resource for me.  The other moms (maybe 95 or so) have such a wealth of experience and knowledge about cycling and medications and RTCs.  I have learned a lot in the last four weeks, especially about which of Caroline's meds take care of what.  You might think I would know that, because they are labeled either mood-stabilizers, or atypical antipsychotics, or antidepressants, or whatever, but certain of these meds are better for depression ,or for mania with agitation, or for the spring ramp-up, etc.  Something I read recently has prompted me to ask her pdoc to increase the level of one of them, and I am going to ask about increasing another.  I guess some of them have a certain therapeutic level that often isn't properly reached.  Each child has their own chemical make-up, but Caroline's is so sensitive and yet stubborn too.
