[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 394985"] I've got a friend that works in long-term adolescent and adult facilities, she works with these kids far more than the doctors do on a daily basis, so I based my response on her real-life professional experience of 20+ years as a psychiatric nurse. Lamictal is one she said they would go to before lithium in kids the age range of ours (young to pre-teen). Might have as much to do with long-term effects on health and the fact that these girls are still growing and once they go through puberty it would need a change again most of the time. Just because it's prescribed the most often doesn't mean it's the best thing for a situation (as we all know, I think we all have kids that have reacted oddly to medications here, no?) It might also depend on if you're looking for a short-term or long-term treatment drug. [/QUOTE]
