[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 61863, member: 2423"] While Depakote controlled the mania, it made both J and A more depressed, which is why we switched over to Lamictal and then added a low dose of Lexapro. I still think your psychiatrist made a mistake in starting your difficult child at 10 mg. We started at 2.5 mg and worked up over weeks to 7.5 mg. In your other post, I suggested Wellbutrin for difficult child. If you go this route, tell the psychiatrist you want to start very low and go very slow. There is no point in trying this if you're just going to induce mania right off the bat. [/QUOTE]
