[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 120711, member: 2423"] Actually, many kids with mood disorders need two first-line mood stabilizers plus an atypical antipsychotic to achieve true mood stability. From what I remember, K has not tried all combinations of the first-line mood stabilizers (Lamictal, Litihium, Depakote, Trileptal, Tegretol). On a BiPolar (BP) parents listserv I co-moderate, one of the most common combinations of medications is Lithium, Lamictal and Seroquel. My son is on a variation of that combo -- Lamictal, Zonegran and Seroquel. Because he's needle-phobic, Lithium really wasn't an option. He is finally doing better after two years of unsuccessful medication trials. Because of side effects, I personally wouldn't recommend trialing the older APs until you have exhausted all combos of the first-line medications used in the treatment of BiPolar (BP) today. T, continued gentle hugs coming your way. [/QUOTE]
