[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 356856, member: 2423"] You might want to take a look at the Treatment Guidelines on the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation website at this link: [url]http://www.thebalancedmind.org/sites/default/files/treatment_guidelines.pdf[/url] In general, kids with BiPolar (BP) need a first-line mood stabilizer (Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Trileptal, Tegretol) plus an atypical antipsychotic like Risperdal to achieve stability. Stimulants like Concerta and Vyvanse tend to destablize kids with BiPolar (BP). How much Risperdal is he taking? Is it broken down into morning and evening doses? [/QUOTE]
