[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 194889, member: 2423"] When a child is manic -- if that's what's going on here -- it is not uncommon at all to start with an antipsychotic to calm the mania down quickly. As we all know, antipsychotics work much faster than the 6 to 8 weeks it can take for a mood stabilizer to kick in. After the antipsychotic is in place, a MS is introduced for long-term treatment. However, I personally would never start with Thorazine. I would opt for the newer atypical antipsychotics like Seroquel, Zyprexa, Risperdal and Abilify (in that order, based on my kids' responses).
