[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 20338, member: 2322"] I think Trileptal is one of those hit or miss drugs. It works for some, not for others. It made my son extremely aggressive, badly so. But it works for others. It has a number of advantages (no blood draws, tolerable side effects). It can be used with Risperdal. Just be sure to start real low and go slow. And if your daughter's behavior really escalate, then rethink it. I guess I would think about starting it. The only disadvantage is that if you start and new psychiatrist wants you to d/c it, it will take a week or so to probably titrate back down. What you don't want to do if you can help it, is start one drug while you are withdrawing another. It makes it hard to tell what's going on. I am sure you are, but also start keeping records of when you start stop change dosages etc. side effects you see. Doesn't need to be elaborate, but believe me in five years you won't remember any of it. [/QUOTE]
