[QUOTE="Janna, post: 236645, member: 2737"] Hey, Chris, we tried the 5 HTP! I was so hopeful, too! How are you making out with that? It didn't do a darn thing for Dylan, but it was worth a try. I was really hopeful with that, being natural. He was on Abilify, several different times over several years. It's one of those things where it just kept pooping out. The Seroquel now seems to be doing that. The AP's work great in him at first, then you need to go up, up, up, up and then, there's nothing else to do but d/c. D was up to 30 mg. Abilify, then he was drooling, slurring, etc. But, even then, it didn't do anything for the ADD part. Just the H LOL. I think I'm gonna talk to the psychiatrist about the Vyvanse and the Focalin. See what she thinks about the others, too. Jannie, we haven't tried Lamictal. The current psychiatrist chose to trial Tegretol instead, first - but we didn't have a good reaction to it (Dylan was dizzy, felt horrible, complained alot - he's not a medication complainer, so we stopped). When I was sitting at the table with the team, we discussed them together (Tegretol vs Lamictal). I'd have to look back thru notes, but that's what we decided. I dunno that we're gonna do another M.S. Just don't know. Hey, MyHrt, give the Lithium some time. Dylan took it, but it took about 8 weeks to get in his system. It really cut his raging down, alot, for a long time (about 12 months!). Make sure you have blood work done. Do you know Lithium can trigger hypothyroidism? That could be making mood changes - I'd make sure his thyroid levels are good. [/QUOTE]
