[QUOTE="JKF, post: 577207, member: 12470"] easy child/difficult child has been having some more issues than usual lately. The regular forgetting everything and in his own world with some anger and sadness issues mixed in. He's been lying a LOT lately and had a fairly alarming issue at school yesterday. I took him to the psychiatrist today and she immediately took him off of the Intuniv bc it can cause aggressive behavior in some kids. easy child/difficult child is usually a very pliable laid back kid but definitely much more argumentative and aggressive since the Intuniv was added in Dec. So bye bye Intuniv. After a he had a long session with the psychiatrist she called me in. She feels he has a mood disorder in addition to the ADHD and she feels its very likely he may be bipolar since both his biodad and brother are bipolar. She prescribed Trileptal in addition to the Vyvanse. He's starting at 1/2 of a 150 mg tab each night at bedtime and then in two weeks he'll double that dose and take it twice a day. Does anyone have any experience with this medication?? [/QUOTE]
