[QUOTE="totoro, post: 220464, member: 3155"] She likes the long term and more stabilizing affects of Lithium. She likes the fact that Lithium has been used longer and she has seen better affects for kids like K. She thinks with K's moods that Lithium would be a better fit... who knows? We would keep the Seroquel the way it is. She thinks the seroquel is doing its job, as an AP. K is much less violent on Seroquel. She used to rage for up to over an hour with incredible violence towards all of us. Because of the Holiday chaos and the in-laws in town. We felt with the blood draws, the side affects that occur with starting a new medication. We would be better waiting until after the holidays. Also Lithium takes upwards of Months to see the benefits... Sometimes longer to see the full benefits. We do not want K to equate medications with a bad time, like feeling sick over the holidays. From what I have read Lithium can be hard on you in the beginning. I don't know what the answer is. It is funny, so many psychiatrist's feel so strongly about certain things. We had one who was against Lithium for kids... We had one who hated Seroquel. One who felt Concerta was the answer for most kids!!! These were prominent psychiatrist's!!! [/QUOTE]
