[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 79834, member: 3527"] FWIW, we have ALSO found Lamictal to be a total GODSEND. This medication has helped tremendously, and the best part, it starts to show its effect FAST. Our difficult child has only been taking for about 3 weeks, and honestly after only a couple days seems like a COMPLETELY different kid already, and she is still on the INTRO dosage!!!! I have heard her psychiatric tell me that most psychiatristS will start trialing THIS one first because it has had such great results with minimal side-effects. So unless there is a medication interaction with something else your difficult child takes, maybe you could ask them???? Another GREAT think with Lamictal, it does NOT require blood draws like Depakote or Lithium, and that makes a big difference if you have a difficult child that has a needle phobia (we do, so this was important to her when she agreed to try it). Good luck, I hope you find a good mood stabilizer that will work for your difficult child!!!! [/QUOTE]
