My 12 year old son's psychiatrist just just recommended weaning him off Zoloft and starting Lamictal - he's starting with 25mg. Then in about 3 days he wants him to add 2mg of Abilify. Any info you can share about these medications - especially pertaining to weight gain, sleepiness/sleeplessness, irritability or agitation, and hyperactivity?
He has been taking the Zoloft for 4 years for excessive crying, frustration, and outbursts. It has worked well curbing these symptoms up until just recently - the symptoms have returned (I'm sure puberty has something to do with it) so doctor suggested new medications.
Thanks for any info you can share.
