[QUOTE="miles2go, post: 463800, member: 6374"] You laugh but difficult child is on my case to hire someone to put "the thickest wires in the walls". His reaction to replacing Abilify with Trileptal seems pretty much like gcvmom's difficult child -- mania up, both euphoric and dysphoric. Somehow has been ok at school, but this weekend has been tough. Both days he had a meltdown over a parking spot being too far (maybe a block) from the destination he himself wanted (a diner on Saturday and a fair on Sunday). He's up to 2100mg / day of Trileptal which afaik is pretty close to the limit. So -- not sure what's next, Lithium I guess ...... Oh and dystonia is still with us..... And TerryJ2 -- Abilify has been a godsend until this weirdness -- the "honeymoon" phase was especially awesome, he was just a normal kid for 4-6 months or so. I keep wondering how long that would have lasted if his mom (and my still wife) didn't start lowering his dose. Having the brain run on manic has its bad and long-term side effects too. [/QUOTE]
