[QUOTE="givnmegryhr, post: 13988, member: 2113"] The psychiatrist told me Trazodone is used for adults for sleep. She said she had good results using it prn for children to calm them. We already tried tenex and clonidine with opposite reactions(bounced off the walls -no sleep those nites!). MidwestMom, I actually got out The Bipolar Child book and read to her what it said about Straterra. I agree with you. I have heard of some who have had good results, but its not one that I feel comfortable trying right now, if ever. I will keep Topomax in mind. I myself have just been started on Lamictal . Its been 2 weeks so I haven't noticed any changes yet. I spoke to my psychiatrist about trying Topomax for the appetite suppressant side effects alone. She hasn't ruled it out ,but we'll see how the Lamictal works first. [/QUOTE]
