[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 78001, member: 2423"] My daughter (easy child/difficult child 3) has been on Zyprexa for a year. It was prescribed for her eating disorder. When we tried to wean her from Zyprexa over the summer, her eating disorder symptoms returned. Having said that, I'm told that many psychiatrists are shying away from the atypical antipsychotics (except for hallucinations) because of the side-effect profile (dystonia, akathisia, diabetes, weight gain leading to high cholesterol and triglycerides). In addition, APs lower the seizure threshold, which could be a cause of increased raging. Furthermore, if Missy is still raging and has Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP), why would she be taken off an anticonvulsant/mood stabilizer, even if she's seizure free? Anticonvulsant/mood stabilizers are the first-line treatment for Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP). Maybe she needs a higher dose of Trileptal or a different anticonvulsant/mood stabilizer. [/QUOTE]
