[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 78012, member: 1498"] It makes no sense to take a child diagnosed with a seizure disorder [i]AND[/i] Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) off an anticonvulsant which is also considered a mood stabilizer while keeping an antipsychotic (either the Abilify or the Zyprexa) which is not a mood stablizer [i]AND[/i] could lower the seizure threshold. You have one doctor treating one problem and the other treating another problem but neither seems to know or care about how the drugs effect the problem they aren't treating. That's just wrong. School is a very stressful experience for a lot of kids, a stressful experience they have to go through each day. Post school letdown is pretty common and is often expressed with negative behavior in the home. By the way, what's the Trileptal dose? It generally takes a higher dose to treat bipolar than epilepsy, especially as she grows. Trileptal is dosed by weight. It may be that you need to go up on the Trileptal rather than stopping it.
