Your poor daughter! Has she gone through puberty yet? I'd get her adolescent psychiatrist who will be more acutely aware of all the issues besides bipolar disorder this eleven year old is going through.

Whether she's bipolar I or II will influence the range of drugs appropriate for her treatment. Some doctors refuse to even consider weight gain in selecting a drug, so you might have to be forceful about this. Each drug has its own properties, though--get your pdoc to consider each in this light as well as any other that's important.
