I am new to these boards. Our 13yr old son was diagnosed about 6 months ago with a mood disorder. He has been building up Lamictal in his system. About 5 days ago, he started 200mg/day. We noticed DRAMATIC results and he was really pleasant to be around - even helpful. Unfortunately, that seemed to last about 3 days and now we are back to moodiness and temper tantrums. Is this normal? Does that mean his dose will need to be increased? Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!

DS - 13, diagnosis 6/11 with mood disorder, acclimating to Lamictal
DS - 11, frustrated with his brother's behavior in public
daughter - 9, LOVES to push her brother's buttons. Sigh ...
