[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 155881, member: 1498"] I read your post, powered off the computer and was headed for bed when the full impact of what you said -- or maybe what I read -- hit me. Are you saying that the reason your son is taking mood stabilizers is to counter the effects of allergy medication? Did any of his psychiatric symptoms or diagnoses come [I]before[/I] he was taking allergy medications? I have to question the research that you have found indication that mood stabilizers should be given to treat the adverse reaction to allergy medications. Based on what I've read, I doubt that there was any such research, particularly on children. I suspect that treating the side effects that way was someone's opinion or a commonly held but not scientifically substantiated belief, much like antipsychotics are prescribed to treat the psychiatric adverse reactions to antidepressants. That doesn't work. I doubt that mood stabilzier prescribed to treat the psychiatric adverse reactions to allergy medications works either. [/QUOTE]
