[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 211882, member: 3444"] Thank you all, YES I am thrilled :D with my little easy child. I feel like I'm being rewarded for so many years of disappointment. It's also a little saddening because I see her putting forth so little effort and doing so well, and it's in sharp contrast to the struggles my boys have despite their intelligence. I think 1 Day At A Time hit it on the head: Some kids take longer to mature, but the end result may be the same. I can only hope! SW, I don't know the answer to your question. When difficult child 2 was on Depakote, it affected his processing even more significantly and his fine motor skills, which were already impaired, really went south on it. His mood issues are typically on the manic end, so Lamictal wouldn't be the first choice, even though he was on that for a time when he was on Depakote because he was starting to show depressive signs (skin picking, crying, negativity). I think the psychiatrist was keeping Tegretol(?) open as an option of Seroquel XR failed. In the back of my mind I keep wondering if his dosing schedule isn't right. I keep thinking he should be taking the larger of his two doses in the morning -- but then I remember the sedation factor and I understand that's why he takes it at night. Even the psychiatrist says he's never seen someone like difficult child 2 who needs SO much more medication to achieve the same effect as his typical patient on Seroquel XR. As I'm sure you know, it's just so hard to start tweaking things when he's finally somewhat stable because it takes SO long to get to a good place. I tend to want to reserve summer for adjustments like that. For now, I can put up with the dosing issue as long as I have everyone else's support to ensure it happens. [/QUOTE]
