[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 128239, member: 2423"] If you really want your difficult child off a certain medication (like Lithobid), sometimes you have to endure some bad times while you make the transition. We recently weaned M off of Prozac because at high doses she was raging. In lowering the Prozac, we saw a return of her anxiety, but I was determined to get her off of Prozac so we rode it out. We're in the process of titrating up on Remeron so in time we shall see if that does the trick. In your case, it sounds as if Lithobid is helping so you may not want to remove it. Susie's right that Depakote can also cause weight gain so maybe that could be swapped out (acne could be addressed with topical solutions). Trileptal may not be your answer. But you still have other options. Lamictal is weight-neutral. Zonegran suppresses appetite. And then there's the whole world of atypical antipsychotics (of which I was not a big fan until recently when my son turned into a new kid on Seroquel). I hope you are able to make headway soon.
