[QUOTE="Steely, post: 404250, member: 3301"] I am SO sorry..... Yes, I had/have a kid that cycles that rapidly.....and it is really, really hard to find the right combo. The mix that worked the best for us was 2 mood stabilizers and a small dose of an AP like Seroquel or Risperdal. I say small, because as smallworld said, Matt would develop Akasthasia on higher doses. It seemed like for us, if he had 2 mood stabs, than he really only needed a smaller dose of the AP. Right now he does OK off of an AP, his own choice, but he did better on one. Do you have a psychiatrist that you see on the outside of the phosph? If so, get her to start bugging this butthole psychiatrist that is never there. In fact when Matt was in the hospital, I made sure the 2 psychiatrists collaborated, because I only trusted his personal one. But definitely in my opinion he needs 2 mood stabs at the right dosages to make any progress. Many, many hugs.............grrrrrr. [/QUOTE]
