[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 322177, member: 7948"] Thanks all. We will not be going higher on the Abilify and we added the Lamictal in hopes of reducing or eliminating the Abilify. If we can get him stable on this combo then I will be pushing to reduce the Abilify dose for sure - something I feel confident his psychiatrist will agree to as she is also concerned about his weight. We have avoided depakote because of his other health issues. It is hard on the liver and he is already on 2 other medications that stress the liver. It also tends to be hard on the gi tract and we do not want to push him into a flare of his Crohn's. So far the lithium seems to be slightly sedating - a good thing from my perspective. I am somewhat familiar with the concerns with Lithium especially the need to keep well-hydrated. Info on concerns would be welcome. We are on the road and I will be able to read stuff on my BB but not respond much. Taking a few minutes at the hotel computer to do this update but not sure I'll have access again for a couple days.
