[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 20162, member: 1550"] Janna, Lucas still says "I'm fat." He is self-conscious. At least he isn't gaining any more weight. When he was on Lithium, he gained EVERY MONTH. Maybe it was because of the combo with the Seroquel, but he was huge. I was terrified. The kid had open heart surgery as an infant. His cardiologist didn't seemed worried, but I sure was. I still wish he'd shed some weight, but he's no longer an active kid. He's still in the 150's and about five feet tall so he's still overweight. Imagine what it was like when he was shorter. It's a real dilemma when a medication works so well in one way, then causes this weight gain...big hugs. I don't know what to tell you, but Topomax is known to stem weight gain with Lithium/Depakote/whatever. Lucas couldn't take it, but maybe Dylan can. [/QUOTE]
