[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 458350, member: 3444"] My difficult child 2 had a dystonic reaction to Abilify, Risperdal AND Zyprexa. He has had MUCH better results with Seroquel (takes Seroquel XR now), which, while in the same class of medication as the others, has a slightly different make-up that seems to do better for people who don't tolerate the other antipsychotic medications. I don't recall your difficult child's history, but has Seroquel been tried yet? Increasing the Trileptal might not be the answer. I know that when we've tried to reduce the dosage of antipsychotic and offset it with an increase in the mood stabilizer (like Trileptal), the manic symptoms got worse. It's a fine balance for us between the AP and MS medications. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
