[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 123658, member: 3444"] I totally get what you mean with the boiling pot analogy :) I've seen this in husband who has an undx'd mood disorder. He started Paxil last spring, which helped his irritability, but you could tell he was struggling still underneath the calmer exterior. Since he started Lamictal for seizures, that bubbling anger below the surface pretty much went away. I'm still not used to it, and still catch myself watching for signs that he's going to blow any minute, but 20 years of behavior experience is hard to get over. We have no experience with Zyprexa, but difficult child 2 did take Risperdal, and then Abilify while he was on Concerta, and the medications did seem to balance eachother with respect to the appetite and weight gain issue. difficult child 2 was usually slightly under- to normal weight. Over time, though, he eventually crept into the "chunky" category, but by then, the stims weren't working because his mood disorder was beginning to present itself. Has the psychiatrist ever talked about one of the anti-seizure/mood stabilizing medications? [/QUOTE]
