[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 327927, member: 2423"] I'm confused -- you said you quit Vyvanse, but now you need a tapering schedule? If Intuniv is doing nothing, I'd ask the psychiatrist to discontinue it. The usual dose range for ADULTS taking Imipramine is 50 to 150 mg, with 300 mg the maximum dose. It can be given once a day or in divided doses twice a day. Abilify and Risperdal are in the same class of medications (atypical antipsychotics), but I personally think they target different symptoms (I'm not a doctor, however). I believe Risperdal is good for anger and aggression. Abilify seems to target depression and help activate the frontal lobes (inattentive ADHD-like symptoms). Honestly, it's hard to know what to advise you in terms of medications without a firm diagnsis. The diagnosis should drive medication decisions. Hang in there. January is coming. [/QUOTE]
