[QUOTE="buddy, post: 500692, member: 12886"] lamictal caused extreme rage and aggression for my son but it works great for others. Mine ended up in his first hospitalization over it. Such a bummer I really wanted it to work. Risperdal and seroquel did that to him too but no psychiatric hospital with those. he was smaller and I could just handle him till it was out of his system. He is on Lithium now and it has caused weight gain but he is in that puberty growth spurt too so it may be partly that too. Problem is, you just can't tell from another child's reaction, what works great for one kid is awful for another. My son does BEST on a stimulant plus Clonidine. We may switch to Tenex which is in the same family but he may need less for the same effect so we may switch next summer. The clonidine (or tenex or others in that class) can help with aggression, rage, etc... and some use it to help with adhd symptoms too. [/QUOTE]
