I am so short on time right now but I did want to say my son was hospitalized in March (probably due to strattera). None the less since then he has been doing very well on the extended release lithium and extended release depakote. Let me just put it this way. We went to Chuck E Cheese today for almost 3 hours. It was crowded! My father looked at me and said, "Look at him! He never could have done this a year ago."
This is the first extended period of time that he has been able to play in the house (building things, video games, etc), go to the pool without incident, go to a pool party, etc.
I have his blood checked every month and monitor it closely that he stays at a good therapeutic level for him.
good luck,
bugsy's mom
