[QUOTE="klmno, post: 185872, member: 3699"] I just wanted to offer HUGS and support. I don't know the answer to your question- sorry- my son tried lamictol and maybe it was because he was more on the hypomanic state when he started it, but it didn't work well for him at all. He now takes lithobid. I worry a great deal about long term side effects, but he has been in and is in so much trouble legally that I can't risk taking him off. We have tried titrating him down before to switch the lithobid out with another mood stabilizer, but so far the effects have been too great. So, the only thing I can suggest is to continue what you are doing- unfortunately it is a trial period to find the least dangerous medication that still is effective. [/QUOTE]
