[QUOTE="ksm, post: 694829, member: 12511"] I am sorry your son is going thru all of this. I have no suggestions on medication, except to see if your new psychiatrist will order DNA testing. They can take a swab and swipe inside the cheek, send it off, and in a week or so, they will know what liver enzymes he has and how it affects different medications. My daughter was missing an enzyme that metabolized the medication she was on, so it did no good. Plus, she had twice as much of a different enzyme, so she metabolized too quickly and it was out of her system. The report broke it down to which medications to try, which to use with caution, and what ones to use extreme caution. Just about everything she had had prescribed were in the extreme caution column! Make sure this is a covered expense thru your insurance company first. Our mental health department had a special offer from a lab, and if insurance did not cover, the most they would charge the patient was $100. Which was good, as the bill was $4000 and insurance did not pay. KSM Ps, you can google DNA for medications and learn more... [/QUOTE]
