[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 63523"] My son is also on Lamictal for mood stability. Last year had some real anxiety issues so psychiatrist put him on Lexapro. Then he was awake for 4 or 5 nights. then psychiatrist added remerom to help sleep. he was totally whacked out. Awful. Then it took so long to get him off those medications, and to get them out of his system. psychiatrist doesn't want to try anything else. difficult child was at his best on 150 mgs. of Lamictal. psychiatrist also increased that to 200 the same time he added the other two. We are now back to 150mgs. and he is no where near what he was like with the other medications. mixed in. Still has some issues with with anger, not nearly what is use to be. Anxiety is the biggest issue. And his mouth. Feels like he can just say anything to anyone at anytime. Impulsive. Don't know what to try with that one. psychiatrist did mention Depakote a long time ago, but difficult child would not agree to blood draws, and I cannot physically hold him down. My psychiatrist said Depakote would help his migranes as well as moods and impulsiveness. Still no go with blood draws so not going there. My difficult child has issues regarding his weight. He won't eat. Says he is fat when he is not. His clothes fall off him. Waist is like 24 inches. My son is 12 and is continuing to lose weight. Was at 99pounds, now under 90. 55 pounds sounds awful light. Is he not hungry or does he feel overweight like my son. Even when he is not. Is he preoccupied with something and doesn't want to take the time to eat? Does he eat if you go out to dinner? [/QUOTE]
