[QUOTE="totoro, post: 111893, member: 3155"] Personally I like Topamax for myself... I also like it in combo with Zoloft for myself... But I think I need something else or to go a bit higher. I am at 200mg right now and I still get a bit manic and and anxious breakthroughs at times. Zoloft I am at 100mg. I went very slow with these... but I am 100% BiPolar (BP)... Ativan... for K was Horrible. psychiatrist we were using as a PRN. For anxiety, mania, any out of control behavior... it seemed to push her over the edge??? It increased her mania for some reason? psychiatrist of course didn't get it. Clonidine for us helps calm her better, a very low dose, 1/2 tab. just cuts the edge. But K is also diagnosis'd with serious combo type ADHD... she can not sit through a movie, she moves non-stop, she twitches, she talks, she pops joints, she makes sounds, she grunts, she is always doing something. Even in her sleep... It is kind of funny I don't really think about at times, it is just her. Even in the car, she is taking her clothes off... I think I worry more about getting her mind stable than making her sit still... or getting her to stop talking. At this point. But yes it is hard at times... We have baskets all over the house of "hand works" things for her to squeeze, lace, take apart etc... foot things to roll back and forth... because obviously the medications aint doing it!!! We haven't attempted a stimulant yet. With the racing thoughts and the incontrolable movements I don't know what is ADHD at times Or BiPolar (BP)!!! You Know??? I feel for you Janna... We are at 75mg of Topamax right now... not seeing much yet... I hope Dylan can calm his little engine soon for all of your sake!!!! [/QUOTE]
