[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 41290, member: 1514"] Well...if he complies (and we all know how that can go) he will do therapy and get back on new medications. It was quite interesting because my therapist was the one doing the assessment...lmao. She had quite a bit of inside information on him going in so she was able to ask him a few pointed questions which he readily answered. It surprised me how forthcoming and truthful he really was...especially with me there...or maybe it was because I was there...who knows. I do know I heard things I wouldnt be privvy to if I hadnt been there...lmao. Tsk tsk Cory. With this new info though I am really second guessing the idea of mood stabilizers. Im thinking maybe simply trying him on abilify alone or maybe geodon. While lithium worked well it caused such tremors it is just not worth it because he will be noncompliant. Its also been years and years since he had anything close to a manic attack and if we can treat the other symptoms, it would work out. We cannot use depakote..it causes problems. Dont know...have to think. [/QUOTE]
