[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 411692, member: 2423"] Just so you know, Remeron is an antidepressant and can make bipolar disorder worse as well. In general, kids with bipolar disorder need a first-line mood stabilizer like Tegretol (others include Lithium, Depakote, Lamcital, Trileptal) plus an atypical antipsychotic (Risperdal, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Abilify, Geodon, Invega) to achieve stability. Having said that, you may want to have your son tested by a neuropsychologist to help clarify the diagnostic picture, as others have recommended. [/QUOTE]
