[QUOTE="JRC, post: 735183, member: 21147"] Hi. i'm sorry that your son is struggling. Yes, my son has bipolar disorder. He does not have aggressive behavior, however. He currently takes lamictal, lithium, abilify and risperone. We are currently reducing the risperdone to zero. Not there yet. We hope to have him either on a monotherapy or a combo of only two drugs. But medication is tricky and takes alot of trial and error. I'm confused by your doctor's suggestion that you should research medicine. You are not a pharmacist. Neither am I. I can not tell you what will work well for your son because every person reacts differently to these medicines. For example, my son is so sensitive to rispderidone that he goes through what's called "intra dose withdrawal" from dose to dose. This is why we want to remove it from his medicines and only use it PRN. I would look for another doctor, one who specifically treats children with bipolar disorder. [/QUOTE]
