You guys just reinforced what I finally found out. difficult child talks like this so much. We were at psychiatrist appointment, and psychiatrist was listening to difficult child talk and asked if he always talked with that pressured speech. I answered without pausing, yes. He has constant diarhea of the mouth. It has been worse since the beginning of the month, and we did increase his Lamictal to 200mg from 150mg. He has been so wound lately, between his birthday and Christmas, it has been nuts. I have been thinking for a while that we needed to increase a medication, but I was thinking of Daytrana. Problem is difficult child lost 2lbs from last psychiatrist appointment in Sept/Oct. difficult child is a skinny guy, and cannot afford to lose any weight.
DJ, what you describe fits husband perfectly. I just cannot follow his conversations sometimes. He was just diagnosed as BiPolar (BP) and ADHD, and is currently on the medication merry go round looking for the right medication. His psychiatrist had him on Depakote, but stated he did not want to keep him on it long, just wanted to see if it would help his sleep patterns. It did nothing for that, but did seem to slow him down some.
