[QUOTE="buddy, post: 522650, member: 12886"] My son is on an extremely HIGH dose of this class of medication. I have too been warned if he goes off of it he could have another stroke, and believe me, this child does not need more brain damage. So when he was in the hospital THEY didn't notice the patches came off! They are changed weekly so he was sent home before a change and that meant it was not till day THREE and he was sweating and having huge rages and I was in a panic when I saw...how do you restart etc??? STILL, thru all that, nothing happened. Thank heaven. but in general, his BiPolar (BP) has not even been low. These drugs have been used for a LONG time to treat blood pressure. That is why they have that side effect and especially at first you will want to be cautious but even little kids are given these medications. (not saying dont care but really dont need to panic as long as you monitor). You can buy a home BiPolar (BP) cuff too and that will help ease your mind. BUT for your ex, if you think he might just not give it, go ahead and tell him he could cause him a stroke if he stops it. That there is no danger of that if he takes it fine, but that he can. IF that does not bite you back, since he may then say it is too dangerous to even consider then. In terms of the wide range of medications, this one for US (not saying for anyone else) has the least side effects (none actually, unless not stopped correctly) and it has the MOST benefit. [/QUOTE]
