[QUOTE="totoro, post: 75901, member: 3155"] I have heard good things about Epival/Tegretol... I wish we could have started with one of those!!! Lithium,Tegretol or Depakote. I know it is scary but those are the ones that have the best history and the most studies done with them. We have tried Trileptal and now Lamictal. Honestly the Mood Stabilizers have been much better than the AP's!!! Trileptal gave K really bad stomache aches but we new right away and we new what was giving her the pains... with Lamictal it has been pretty good. They take quite awhile to get to a therapeutic level so you will have to be patient, we are at 8 weeks now on Lamictal and we are just now seeing the affects... Risperdal and Abilify have been nothing but problems... the side affects are horrible. It is nice to see you... sorry things are rough, I was hoping you were kicking back enjoying the good life!!! The blood draws are hard, but he will get through it and so will you!!! We have only had to do one so far!!! It wasn't too bad. I would ask for the EMLA. Demand it... Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
