[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 253270"] Lamictal works very well for my difficult child; just one increase a few weeks ago stopped some of the major cycling/mania that started breaking through. It was the only thing that pulled difficult child out of a really black depression as well a couple of years ago. We titrated up extremely slowly to prevent issues with the rash; even slower than was recommended from clinical data. Our psychiatrist has seen where he has had a really good response by taking this shift. It tooks us a few months to even reach up to a mildly therapeutic dose; but when we got there, it was evident. No significant side effects aside from headsaches and making difficult child sleepy the first few days after we shift dosing and it doesn't require blood draws; doesn't seem to cause weight gain. From what I've read in some of the clinical literature and talking with clinicians in other areas for work, it is considered particularly good for patients with mixed states (their words) that also suffer from a lot of depression.
