[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 14538, member: 2423"] Crazymama, they do use mood stabilizers with SMD. My kids are definitely depressed, but they flip out when they take SSRIs, the traditional treatment for depression. So we had to turn to mood stabilizers. My kids, and I know at least one of pepperidge's, have responded positively to Lamictal because it works on the depressive end of BiPolar (BP). But Lamictal didn't do enough to lift my kids' mood so we have added in small doses of SSRIs (Lexapro this time). My son also takes a low dose of Focalin XR (10 mg) to help with schoolwork. My daughter is in the process of being tested for ADD and may be taking a stimulant soon as well. [/QUOTE]
