[QUOTE="totoro, post: 194544, member: 3155"] I have yet to try Lithium for myself or K. Lithium is our next medication for K. I think if you have a VERY good indication that a person has BiPolar (BP) then Lithium or one of the other first line Mood Stabilizer's are a smart way to start. Lithium, Depakote, Tegratol. In that order, would be the way a lot of psychiatrist's go. We did it backwards... Actually K tried Trileptal instead of Tegratol. We are waiting to start Lithium due to the heat here and because it puts a lot of pressure on K and us to stay extra hydrated, something we are working on. Also from what I have read some doctor's like to wait until the child is a little older... 12 or so. But I think most medications would say that. Lithium is the longest used for mental illness. It is proven safe if you watch and monitor. Just like any medication... [/QUOTE]
