[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 401852, member: 2423"] Your daughter is already on a hefty dose of Clomipramine, which by the way, is an excellent medication for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and somatic complaints. She's on double the FDA recommended dose of Lexapro, which could be making her worse, not better. And she's on 10 mg higher than the FDA recommended dose of Abilify, which again could be making her worse, not better. Sometimes less is more. If your daughter has never been stable, there's a chance you're looking at an underlying bipolar disorder and she needs to be weaned from the antidepressants and have a mood stabilizer (Depakote, Lithium, Lamictal, Trileptal, Tegretol) introduced. Just a thought. You may want to take a look at the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation website at [url]http://www.thebalancedmind.org/[/url] [/QUOTE]
