[QUOTE="Last ♡ Hope, post: 431952, member: 11452"] Let's see, he's been on Zyprexa for a week on Monday. Initially he was taking 5mg at bedtime, a day or two later it was increased to 10mg at bedtime, then it was backed down to 5mg this Tuesday when he started the lithium and Difficult Child'd altogether yesterday. He was started on lithium ER 300 mg morning and night - and my mama gut says THAT is the problem. I actually feel like lithium might work for him, but that he needs the IR in very small divided doses. In fact, I was up until almost 2 am this morning googling info on it and I've even seen it stated that the ER shouldn't even be given to the pediatric population - that they should *only* get the IR version as it can be split down into smaller doses if necessary. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY SHE STARTED WITH THE EXTENDED RELEASE!!!!!! ::mad:: [/QUOTE]
