[QUOTE="Janna, post: 18706, member: 2737"] Good morning, I was thinking the same thing, mood stabilizer. Risperdal isn't going to really do anything, at least long term, for mania. Or Bipolar. Dylan has trialed this medication three times, and well, it just didn't do squat for his Bipolar. The only down side to the mood stabilizers - they take 6-8 weeks or longer (depending on the medication) to work. Risperdal, you can see results pretty quick. The thing is, Risperdal is going to fizz out, with almost certainty, at some point. The mood stabilizer, that will work for the long haul. Dylan's Bipolar was a mess until we incorporated the Lithium. In all honesty, 17 medication trials, 7 years, countless wrong diagnosis'es, the tantrums, the rages, the out of control emotions, no medication took care of that except the Lithium. No rages since January 12, 2006. 13 months. I'm sorry you're struggling. Bipolar stinks. Janna [/QUOTE]
