[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 174130, member: 3184"] Sarah, the diagnosis of cyclothymia was there after trialing lots of stims. psychiatrist always suspected a mood disorder due to family history and maybe other things. Once we realized stims were not helping difficult child went off all medications for several months to clear his system, then on Lamictal, and once stable on that we added daytrana. It did help with the hyperactivity, but now seems to really do nothing. psychiatrist did mention that Lamictal can be activating and can affect sleep, but difficult child has not had a problem untill now with sleeping. When he started on Lamictal he was more depressive, irritable and grouchy. I am seeing many autistic like traits, for lack of a better term. difficult child is so socially clueless, he maintains eye contact sometimes but not all, and is so repetitive sometimes. I may pursue having a neuropsychologist evaluation done, but that is going to be so expensive. I have to drive 4 hrs one way, so there would be a motel stay involved. I will talk to psychiatrist about it when he gets back. I am just considering my options at this point. [/QUOTE]
