[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 106534, member: 1680"] My son is only 6 and started lithium in April. At that point we almost hospitalized him and probably should have. He has had no major side effects. No weight gain. It has been the ONLY thing that has made a difference. He had 5 very stable, compliant months and he was generally pleasant. Of course it was still more challenging than a "typical" child, but so much better. We have been going through a tough time right now and my hope is that the duration of this period will be less than in the past. He seems to be getting on track. If you do decide to start lithium the bloodwork is very important and things like keeping hydrated are important. good luck, Bugsy's mom [/QUOTE]
