I don't often check in here and just noticed your post. My son is 12 now and was diagnosed 4 years ago. I am sorry to say the rollercoaster never ends. It sometimes slows down and we have had good times but you can never get off alltogether. Getting onto the right meds asap is key I think and you have to be strong and fight. Make sure you are well informed and go to the hospital armed with a list of questions.
Why don't you join the parents on-line bit of this forum then all the posts are together and it makes it a bit easier to find you.

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.
Hi Lisa
I was just browsing the forum as I haven't been on for ages.
My son was diagnosed at 13 and like you say it has been a living hell.
He is 16 now and earlier this year he was put on to a combination of drugs which seem to be working quite well for him.
He is now filling in forms to apply to uni next year, he got really good results in his exams even though he only managed to attend school 2 or 3 days a week for the past 3 years.
Anyway just wanted to give you hope, with the right medication they can get their life back on track, if not back to normal
