[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 78868, member: 1498"] Wellbutrin is an antidepressant, not a stimulant. Strattera is also an antidepressant. They act on the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Wellbutrin is a combo type which acts on three different neurotransmitters; Strattera acts only on norepinephrine. Geodon isn't a mood stabilizer, it's an antipsychotic (major tranquilizer approve for the short term treatment of manic episodes. The mood stabilizers are lithium, Lamictal, Depakote and Tegretol. No antipsychotic (Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Abilify, Geodon) are long term mood stabilizers. They are short term treatment of a mood swing episode. Most will tell you they simpley don't work long term. "Anyone out there with ADHD/ODD kid on concerta and/or a mood stabilizer.. anyone with moral aversion to medications.. anyone who understands what it's like to have a difficult child that you love to death, would give your life for, and also want to kill a majority of the time because he recks havvoc on your life all the time? yah, you know who I'm talking to." That would be many if not most of us. been there done that Didn't we get tee-shirts made? [/QUOTE]
