[QUOTE="Calista, post: 116540, member: 666"] So, we have D/Cd the Trileptal after going down to a dose that was not effective, AT ALL, in order to avoid the vomiting every 2 weeks. We went down to 300 mg 2xdaily. Needless to say the last 10 days have been terrible comming to a head this morning when I had to pick difficult child up from school because of aggression. This after we went to see the psychiatrist on Friday because I had to pick up difficult child on Thursday for aggression. On Friday the psychiatrist D/Cd the Trileptal and prescribed an extended release Tegretal. Needless to say it's not working. difficult child is obsessing over every little thing and cannot take ANY frustration. He cannot focus due to sensory integration problems so he is refusing to do work. He is unable to reverse a poor decision and it snowballs into disaster. All of these things were made better by the Trileptal SO back to placement we go.
