[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 174734, member: 2423"] Sharon is right about Strattera. But even some kids without mood disorders have reacted negatively with moodiness, anger and aggression. What is often recommended is to wean from Strattera and then get a baseline read on behavior after the Strattera is completely out of the system and before deciding on the next medication. I'm wondering how your difficult child's anxiety has in the past or is currently being treated? Has he tried any other medications with positive or negative results. Trileptal is an anticonvulsant/mood stabilizer that is used to treat seizures related to epilepsy or ease the mood swings associated with bipolar disorder. None of my kids have ever tried it, but I know that it is often tolerated well (few side effects) and does not require blood draws the way other mood stabilizers do. Like many mood stabilizers, it doesn't target anxiety all that well. [/QUOTE]
