[QUOTE="totoro, post: 236405, member: 3155"] Yes I would think any medication can change or need to be changed after time. Has his blood levels been checked lately? Just to make sure that some other issues isn't going on, checking everything, lipids, thyroid, fasting sugar etc. Maybe also he needs to be updated on a behaviour management class on top of the medication check. Updated on skills for Autistic men as well as how to control and manage his Bipolar, as far as schedule, sleep, diet and exercise. Even if he can't or won't take a class, or if he does not have a therapist maybe you can print out info for him? There are some really good Bipolar workbooks out now, I do one, that you keep track of you moods and medications, schedules and such. I would be very leary of a psychiatrist who automatically dismissed my concerns over medications. Good luck... I would be very pushy with the doctor. [/QUOTE]
