[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 37333, member: 2894"] Well, apparently it was felt accross the board that 5 mg of Zyprexa just wasn't making an impact...there were still consistant problems at school, day hospital, and home (if you saw my post about having to restrain difficult child nightly). So, the SW at the day hospital had a word with the psychiatrist and had the psychiatrist see difficult child while he was at the day hospital yesterday and she decided to drop the 2.5 mg dose of Zyprexa in the morning and swap in a 5 mg dose of Adderall XR instead. This should be interesting. Just because the red flags *I* see of BiPolar (BP) (again, I never claimed to be a Dr), I'm curious to see if the Adderall INCREASES his rages. They only gave us a 2 week Rx to trial the medication, saying we should see if it has any effect in that time. How quickly do you think I should or should not see a difference if there will be one? (I'm a little pieved that they only gave us a 2 wk RX...because it still cost me the same co-pay as a full month...because if he ends up staying on it, I'm going to have to pay a full month co-pay again. PLUS, the Insurance is currently refusing to pay for the Zyprexa, so we just paid $60 for 6 pills out-of-pocket. Ugh) [/QUOTE]
