[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 40021"] Lamictal works great. difficult child does not handle change very well, and I knew we would experience some situations when I switched jobs in February. did not expect the downfall. When you are not around (working 2nd shift) then all of a sudden you are there, I seemed to have put a curve ball into their routine. Caused many arguments with husband, easy child and difficult child. difficult child made honor roll second qtr. then my job switch and he has been on a decline ever since. He told me that he thought we would be proud of him but instead we are all fighting. He was awful in school. I took him back to psychiatrist and asked about anxiety medications. OK..Lexapro..didn't work, he was awake for 4 - 5 nights. psychiatrist added Remerom to help with sleep. Did help with sleep but he has been totally out of control. went back to psychiatrist last week. took him off Remerom (lexapro removed when remerom was added). psychiatrist added Abilify. difficult child refuses to take it. husband won't push it due to side affects. So, just sticking with Lamictal. He had done so well for so long with just Lamictal. Takes topomax due to severe chronic headaches. Neurologist put him on that. I do not believe it is helping but difficult child swears it is. (difficult child knows that topomax is used for weight reduction also) I honestly believe that difficult child only says it works because he wants to lose weight. Had a complete meltdown last week because he gained 5 pounds. (remerom??) sorry off subject. I vote for Lamictal. [/QUOTE]
