[QUOTE="LookingForAnswers, post: 427568, member: 11937"] My son was taking Geodon for a while and then last Summer he developed some tics so his psychiatrist started backing him off of his medications one at at time, starting with the Geodon and he tolerated it well. I was glad to see the Geodon go though because it knocked him out at night and it made him do some really weird stuff in the mornings. Some mornings he seemed "high" and he would say that his arm or leg hurt and he couldn't use them. He would hold his arm straight out or limp around on his leg and fall to the floor. It was really strange. His psychiatrist started him on Seroquel and it didn't help him so then he put him on Latuda (the AP he is on now). It took it a long time to see if it would help him and it did for about 2 weeks. His rages went away and he was in a good mood but then that changed and he became really defiant about 3 weeks ago. He hasn't really raged but he is easily angered. When I gave him the Lithium tonight he seemed hyper and goofy. He told me he was hyper and also tired (strange combo!). He was also really silly goofy (he said because he was hyper.) Is that normal and will it o away once the medications stabilize in his system? [/QUOTE]
