[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 321901, member: 1514"] I can tell you the combo's that Cory was on and he was/is early onset. He came out of the hospital on Depakote and Zyprexa. Zombie. Lasted about 9 months because we were going to give the psychiatrists the old college try. Then we switched to Depakote and Seroquel. That was his combo from about age 14.5 up until he entered the state psychiatric hospital a month before he turned 16 and they took him off it and put him on just lithium. That was his magic drug. Worked best for him. When he came home for good, he seemed to need another booster so he ended up also adding abilify at a low dose...I think 10 mgs. Maybe it was even 5. That worked well until he quit medications altogether because of the lithium shakes. He had to Difficult Child the depakote at 15...I remember now...thinking back...cold turkey because it had a really bad reaction with his white blood count all of a sudden. He was inches away from aplastic anemia. [/QUOTE]
