[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 170628, member: 2423"] Christy, SRL is right about 4 medications being a lot for a 9-year-old. Even if he's not "stable," you might want to ask about weaning from Geodon and Clonidine and focusing just on Trileptal and Seroquel at therapeutic doses. Geodon has been known to activate some kids with mania-like side effects. Our psychiatrists follow a few simple "rules": Make one medication change at a time. Start low and go slow with medication titrations. Bring one medication all the way up to a therapeutic level before making a decision about keeping or discontinuing. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
