[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 178084, member: 2423"] I can't tell you for certain. I do know that many kids with BiPolar (BP) symptoms require two mood stabilizers and an atypical antipsychotic for full symptom relief. I can also relate my daughter's experience with Zyprexa (same family as Risperdal), which was prescribed to treat her phobia about eating. She was on Zyprexa for a year when her psychiatrist recommended that we wean her because she seemed to be doing so well with her eating. As we started to go down from 7.5 mg to 2.5 mg last summer, her eating disorder returned with a vengeance. So we immediately added back Zyprexa and her symtpoms disappeared. We are considering trying to get her off Zyprexa again this fall. My son has been on Seroquel (again, same family as Risperdal) since January for depression and mania. We have successfully reduced his dose, but we haven't yet felt comfortable taking him off entirely. He is not through puberty yet so I think it will take a little more time before we consider discontinuing Seroquel. [/QUOTE]
