[QUOTE="Janna, post: 20237, member: 2737"] We tried Topomax before. Maybe in 2002/2003. I have everything in my other computer. I know he trialed it alone, and it didn't last long, but I cannot remember why we d/c'ed it. I dunno, isn't that Dopamax? Another thing, that cognitive dulling, is that why his speech is so slurred so often? Heck, people cannot even understand him sometimes. And he constantly has a puddle of spit in his mouth, why is that? I don't need another medication to make him like that. And you know, his expressive whatever that is, when he tells stories - again, nobody understands him. His thoughts are scattered all over the place. He'll try to tell you about a boy and what he did in school today, he'll start out by saying "Joe picked up the chair and went to throw it" - and then, right in the middle of that, switch to tell you about how he met Joe 2 years ago, then go back to finishing his story. He's all over, and nobody understands him. I love how calm and better behaved he is (although I'd like to hope the better behavior is because of so much of our hard work, and not solely because of medication), he has a much better handle on his emotions, but over time (I know, it's only been a year), I'm not liking alot of things about the medications. Take the good with the bad, yes, but I don't want my son zombified either. And no, I don't want to add the stimulant to the Abilify. I would d/c the Abilify and add the stimulant. I don't want him on too many medications. He's already taking 2 in the AM (Lithium/Synthroid) and 3 at night (Lithium/Abilify). Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions. I appreciate them.
