Oh wow, I'm really overwhelmed now. He was on trileptal for several months and we didn't see a huge difference. The psychiatrist focused on the fears and anxieties he had and they have gone away anyway. Maybe he isn't truly bipolar if wellbutrin has stabilized him. When I say cycles, I mean he is extra irritable for a while and then "easy going" for a few days and then back to irritable. Almost always really hyper. Bouncing off the walls is what I say often in this house. I just don't even know where to begin or what else to ask the dr. about. We just had a six month visit with her, we have to drive two hours each way to see her, and felt that for the most part he was doing okay. She wants to try to get him off of wellbutrin in the summer when he's out of school, but last time we tried he got more irritable. We just do not know what to do! It is so hard - I want to try to change his diet, but there are so many things to try, it's hard to know where to start. Thanks for all the input!
