[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 140619, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm glad you found us, but sorry you needed to. Do you have a children's or university teaching hospital within driving distance? My thought is that you would be able to find top-notch neuro specialists there to help you out with this difficult situation. I'm guessing that you might want to seek out a behavioral neurologist (there is such a specialty) to figure things out. The irony is that mania, when not caused by brain surgery, is treated with anticonvulsant/mood stabilizers (Lamictal, Trileptal, Tegretol, Depakote) and Lithium, which is a mood stabilizer but not an anticonvulsant PLUS atypical antipsychotics like Abilify. Is there any way you could go back to liquid Trileptal if that was helping more? Can you switch to another atypical antipsychotic like Seroquel or Zyprexa? Most of us have had to do a trial-and-error process until we hit on the right medication combo. I'm sorry you're struggling so. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
