[QUOTE="MyHrt31, post: 235156, member: 6666"] He was on Vyvanse and Risperdal for awhile and that didn't seem too bad but he was still constantly getting in trouble at school which meant I was getting called at work to go and get him (not good for a single parent with no other support system). I brought him to a new psychiatrist (she's supposed to be the best in this area) and she's the one who gave him all the below diagnoses. She switched his medications to Lithium, Abilify, and kept the Vyvanse. She tried to increase the Vyvanse but he said that it felt like his heart was beating out of his chest and it made him even more hyper (weird, I know). So she increased his Lithium and Abilify and kept his Vyvanse at the dosage he's been at for the past 4 months. It seems like he's more irritable since he's started the Lithium and Abilify? Or maybe since he's gone off the Risperdal? He's been off the Risperdal for about 3 months now so I don't know if he would all of a sudden be getting really irritable because of that. Its just so confusing! Is it wise to say the state I live in here in the message board or would it be better to PM someone? I can say I live way down south :winking:and I enjoy my food spicy, lol. That doesn't necessarily give too much away right? My son's school is going to call his psychiatrist with their observations in his behvavior since starting the medication so maybe we can get another appointment earlier to see her. I know I can't completely rely on medication but its hard to work with him because he's so fidgety and irritable (even without the medication).
