[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 394987, member: 2423"] Believe me, I'd go to Lamictal, too, because of its positive side-effect profile. In fact, two of my three kids are on it with very positive results. I just don't think a parent should rule out Depakote or Lithium because of her child's age. They are prescribed with regularity under age 16. I happen to know because I'm online with many parents through the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation (CABF) and volunteer for CABF's Family Response Team. A few years ago, psychiatrists wouldn't touch Lamictal with a ten-foot pole because of the risk of the Stevens-Johnson rash. Times certainly have changed once psychiatrists realized if they started low and went slowly, the risk of the rash was greatly diminished. [/QUOTE]
