[QUOTE="Janna, post: 58783, member: 2737"] Yep, already done the neurologist. Already tried Tenex and Clonodine. Lisa, interesting point about the Klonopin. I had talked to MidwestMom earlier in the week about this medication, and she pretty much said the same thing you did. I don't know that I'm particularly worried about that part. Again, I'm more interested in something that Dylan will be able to use as an add on LONG TERM. We cannot go back to the Abilify, at 20 mg. we saw too many side effects, and going down to 10 we just saw nothing, it was doing nothing. He's the same today, on the Lithium alone, as he was with the Abilify. All the rest are out/done/used/tried. Thanks lol. Loth, I had sent you a message regarding the Lamictal. Yes, I did talk to him. No, he does NOT want to use it. He said Lamictal is good on kids that are manic/depressive, however, we are still continuing to treat Dylan as hypomanic. He does not appear to have depression at this time. He also stated that several of his patients that have severe problems with outbursts had increasing problems with outbursts with the Lamictal.
