[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 279924, member: 2423"] Her Strattera dose of 120 mg/day exceeds the maximum FDA-approved dose for her weight. Her dose is typically for a person who weighs 190 pounds. Bipolar disorder is generally treated with a first-line mood stabilizer or sometimes two (Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Trileptal, Tegretol) plus an atypical antipsychotic (Risperdal, Seroquel, Abilify, Geodon, Zyprexa). Check out [url]http://www.thebalancedmind.org/sites/default/files/treatment_guidelines.pdf[/url] for treatment guidelines. Antidepressants generally make kids with BiPolar (BP) worse. She shouldn't be on two medications for sleep -- Trazadone and Seroquel. One should suffice. If she's passing out after "episodes," she needs to be checked by a neurologist for seizures. [/QUOTE]
