[QUOTE="totoro, post: 375344, member: 3155"] K is a very difficult child to treat, some of her diagnosis's I have not listed, like Tourettes and some of her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traits- some of these are just part of her other diagnosis's- She also has Hallucinations and Psychotic Tendencies. But right now with her Therapies and intense home schedule and structure we are able to keep her on just Lamictal and a very low dose of Focalin. We will likely have to change this soon because she is having an increase in break through mania. She has not been able to take AP's for various reason, but our kids change and over time they may be able to revisit different medications. We may put her on a tiny dose of an AP again and see if it can touch her break through issues. She did not do well on Lithium or Depakote, this does not mean we will never try them again. She has been on over 20 medications in about 4 years. Hormones and age change how they react to medications. Never know especially with AP's and MS. We are on our second trial of Lamictal, this time it is working great- might need and adjunct. We just never know with our kids- they are very complicated. Took me awhile to figure mine out, just like Janet. I am pretty good on Lamictal, Topamax, Xanax and Trazadone. Good luck- A great psychiatrist is hard to find [/QUOTE]
