[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 54204, member: 1550"] From what I've seen, and talked about with other moms, antipsychotics seem to be more of a fast fix, but don't have staying power. Mood stabilizers can take up to two months to kick in, if they are at a therapeutic level, but they can last for years or forever. It is common for a doctor to combine a mood stabilizer with an antipsychotic, such as Lithium/Seroquel. The affects of stims and antdepressants can cancel out the good of the mood stabilizers. JMO, but I'd want to lose the Straterra. That can wreak havoc with any kid with unstable moods. Any ADHD medication can. [/QUOTE]
