[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 253474, member: 2423"] Sharon, my daughter A mostly presents with anxiety and depression, but had a bad reaction to an SSRI, which earned her a Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified diagnosis. She has done extraordinarily well on Lamictal with a small dose of Lexapro to further help her depressive tendencies. We haven't wanted to go the AP route -- although my other two kids take APs as a last resort -- because of the side effect profile, which is significantly worse than Lamictal. I know psychiatrists do try APs first, but when you look at the research about treating BiPolar (BP), mood stabilizers are still the medication of choice for the long haul. [/QUOTE]
