[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 287871, member: 2960"] We tried three drugs before settling on Lamictal. [Disasters, all.] The dose was raised slowly until it appeared effective and then we quit raising it. difficult child has been on it for about three years now. We upped it a little once, but you have to figure that he would need more as he grows. I was originally reluctant to drug him but as the development specialist pointed out, even if the docs gave him the wrong drug at the wrong dose, it would still be an improvement over all the stress hormones running through his body without anything. difficult child has some impulse issues and we tried a couple of add-ons for that but they were not an improvement so we went back to just Lamictal. No matter what your condition, the docs always monitor progress and adjust the medications. True for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes ... you have to figure it would be true for mood disorders as well. Lamictal has been a life-saver (or at least a sanity-saver) for us. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
