[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 406725, member: 2960"] We went through a number of drugs (Risperdal was a nightmare) before we tried Lamictal. It's been great for my difficult child. Hasn't solved everything so we play with an extra drug every now and then but keep the Lamictal. No weight gain (lost all the weight he put on with the Risperdal). Can't even think of any side effects he had. We did try Abilify with the Lamictal but it didn't do anything for him. It's awful to be playing roulette with psychotropic drugs, but unfortunately, that's the state of the science today. When my difficult child has his own difficult children (may I live to see it), there will be more options and better understanding. Right now, he's called Mood Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified because there simply isn't a good name for him yet. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
