[QUOTE="Steely, post: 244161, member: 3301"] Oh so unbelievably hard to watch. A couple of months ago when Matt was in phosph and was cycling every 30 to 40 minutes, it was unbearable to watch. It just breaks your mommy heart to see them that sick. And the only answer anyone has is trialing medications until a doctor can find the right combo.........it is not fair. What is amazing about K is that she still does so well in school. She is a strong little girl if she can make it through every day holding it together at school with as much chaos as is happening in her brain. Matt sometimes couldn't even make it [I]to[/I] school, let alone stay there, without a meltdown when he is where K is mentally. This is the first time Matthew has been on 200 mg of Lamictal, and his thinking has evened out considerably in the last 2 months. I cannot tell if it is the structure of where he is, or the medication combo - probably both - but if Lamictal is your next in line - I hope psychiatrist does it ASAP. Matthew is actually on a pretty low dose for a kid who is 6'3, and a low dose of Zyprexa, 5mg - but both - in combo of a normal dose of Lithium have helped even him out without any weight gain. I hope psychiatrist answers you back SOON!!!!:anxious: And that you have good luck with Lamictal if that is the route you choose. Peace & hugs:peaceful: Steely (PS - If K gets more hostile on Lamictal for the first day or so, I would suggest pressing forward. As you remember Matthew [U]lost[/U] it when his dose was titrating up - but after a couple of days he was seeing the positives.) [/QUOTE]
