So what’s the right medication in your opinion? My son is bi-polar and OCD too.

I’m not a Doctor and thus can’t answer that, and besides, every individual is different with respect to what works and what doesn’t. I know that some medications work for some people and not for others. Generally, doctors will prescribe what has the least side-effects first (first line medications) and only move to second or third line Meds (with harsher side effects) if necessary. In the 12week class I teach, we have a module on medications. If there is a NAMI affiliate in your area, I’d highly recommend you call and ask if the Family-to-Family course is available in your area. It made a huge difference for us.
