[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 59626, member: 2322"] He has been on this particular combo--and dose -- for about a year now. And he has been on Adderall for about 3 years I guess. It (and Lamictal) has been a godsend -- when the Adderall takes effect, he becomes much more compliant,emphathetic, etc. It is amazing to watch the transformation. But he needed the mood stablizer to deal with his depressive tendencies. Maybe it has suddenly stopped working. With his psychiatrist we had been contemplating trying to reduce his medication load slightly--beginning with the Topamax. We started about a month ago, but thought maybe the silliness was kicking back up, so we quickly reinstated the Topamax dose (we had only reduced it by 25 mg). We have been doing a medication wash on my other son, and I could only deal with one medication change at a time! So nothing has changed. The thing with him is that he can go from this hypersilly state to completely rational at the drop of a dime if there is something that interests him. He says he acts silly when he gets bored--and there is a lot of truth to that. So I don't know if it is really hypomania or what. His underlying mood is definitely depressed. thanks for your thoughts. Chris [/QUOTE]
