[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 142025, member: 3444"] Hi Smallworld: He had only been on Zyrpexa about 16 days. The first seven he was at 5mg/day, then we bumped him to 10mg/day. And yes, that is the drug the neuro chose to treat the Sydenham's and the reason we were starting to wean the mood stabilizers. Although Depakote is used to control chorea, our psychiatrist, who is working with the neuro, felt it better to take him off it. I firmly suspect that the Sydenham's was also the reason for his mood deterioration about a year and a half ago, the same time his handwriting went in the toilet. He's had mild chorea movement issues since he was a preschooler, and mild mood issues since about first grade, but never to the degree the two presented in 4th grade. So I guess we're back to square one. I remember he had the jaw spasms when he was on Abilify (I think). So maybe we need to revisit Risperdal since he did pretty well on that for two years. [/QUOTE]
