[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 451519"] Trileptal and tegretol are closely related, so that might be why he stopped the tegretol. Trileptal requires a higher dose but has a lower side effect profile and needs no blood tests like tegretol does. The most side effects we've seen with the trileptal is a salt craving and the first couple of days of an increase she takes a nap. The Kapvay is an extended release version of clonidine, she takes that in the morning and the regular clonidine at night. We're tinkering with the Abilify - too much or too little and she's a violent raging psycho. We're taking her back up to 10mg on that. Wanted her off it because of tingly feet at night (though not as bad as the Zyprexa did to her), but she's too volatile on lower doses. They had wanted her to take the Abilify at bedtime but it activates her, too, so she takes it in the morning instead. Can't wait until puberty and we'll be starting over from scratch with PMS to toss in the mix. Not. I hope Matt can find something(s) that work for him without adding more problems. Age can make a difference, along with what order things are added in. Yeah, preaching to the choir, I know. :) [/QUOTE]
