[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 209103, member: 1233"] I know sometimes they use antiseizure medications for mood stabilizers. topomax is an antiseizure medication that is also used for mood stabilizing. Would one of the mood stabilizers of that line work for him? If he needs an antipsychotic, maybe a much smaller dose of one, esp to start? Whatever the normal starting dose, start him at 1/2 or 1/4 of it, and then go up very slooooooowly? We had to do this with my daughter's Keppra (for epilepsy) because each medication we tried made her so sick. We started very very low, and it took almost a full year to get her to a therapeautic dose. And when we need to increase it we do it very slowly, but not as slowly as the first few increases. It is just a thought. Susie [/QUOTE]
