[QUOTE="klmno, post: 162229, member: 3699"] Thanks, gcvmom! I also told the dr that I noticed that about the time I put difficult child on his allergy medications each year (3 years straight) is about the time I notice mood cycling starting. He asked if they were antihistamines like zyrtec, pill form. I said yes but told him most others (pharmicist, psychiatrist) have said this wouldn't cause it. He said some people definitely DO have this kind of reaction to those medications and it can start the cycling process. He also said difficult child needs his allergy medications (he used to have asthmatic wheeziing and had inflammation in his sinuses and drainage in his throat from allergies today.) I told him I was afraid anymore to give the allergy medications. He gave difficult child a nasal spray- it is an antihistamine but he said the nasal spray wouldn't have the same effect as pill form and he said he was giving him a kind that had no cortosteroids in it. He gave me enough samples to last 2-3 weeks and told me to give it to him every night and see if he can take that without starting the cycling process again. This should be interesting. I think I'm going to update the GAL on this visit, too, even though she hasn't been involved in the "regular" dr issues up to this point. It can't hurt to let them see how much of an overlap there really is. And, since we just got cycling under coontrol, if he starts taking this and starts cycling again, I want the GAL to know.
