[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 122214, member: 2423"] Zyprexa is not a mood stabilizer. First-line mood stabilizers are Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Tegretol and Trileptal. It is an atypical antipsychotic used for mania, anxiety, anger, aggitation and aggression. Side effects include sedation and weight gain. Like any AP, it can also cause metabolic changes that can lead to high cholesterol and diabetes. My daughter (easy child/difficult child 3) has been on Zyprexa for 1.5 years. She has severe anxiety that manifests itself in an eating disorder. Zyprexa has calmed her anxiety and helped her eat, but she also needs an antidepressant for residual anxiety. She just started Remeron last night. I would tend to believe a board-certified child psychiatrist over a school psychologist for dxing purposes. However, is the psychiatrist willing to concede that your difficult child has a mood disorder (BiPolar (BP) is one of the mood disorders)? [/QUOTE]
