[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 137098, member: 2423"] It sounds as if you have a very caring group of psychiatrists treating Abbey. I'm just going to throw out one suggestion because it looks as if you haven't tried it and it might help Abbey. If Lithium is causing a lot of side effects, you might want to consider adding in Lamictal so the Lithium dose can stay on the lower end. Lamictal has been a very good medication for two of my kids with zero side effects. FWIW, the sedation effect of Seroquel can wear off at higher doses and the longer you take it. You may want to give it another shot if Abilify isn't doing the trick. Seroquel has been the magic bullet for stabilizing my son after two years of failed medication trials so I'm a big fan of the medication. Ironically, Propranolol is a migraine medication. My son has been on it for 4 years to control migraines, but he takes a higher dose (30 mg BID). Good luck. I know how challenging these medication trials can be. [/QUOTE]
