Diagnosed Bi Polar 8 yr old

by DerbyBarb, Nov 20, 2007 08:52PM
My grandaughter (51 lbs- age 8) was diagnosed Bi Polar.  Approximately two weeks ago, she was prescribed the lowest dosage of Respiradol, then cut in half.  She started some involuntary slow eyelid closures with a squint, which have increased to approximately 11 in one minute.  The doctor just took her off the meds today.  The doctor thinks the movements will stop in one day to two weeks.  We are very worried that these could be permanent.  What is your opinion?
