[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 170786, member: 1498"] I know some doctors use them but I wasn't aware that there had been a therapeutic blood level established for the treatment of bipolar with Trileptal. I do know that it is widely believed that the therapeutic dose based on mg/kg/day for bipolar is generally higher than for seizure control. What dose is he on? Low T4 and normal TSH could indicate a pituitary issue. At the direction of the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland controls the hormonal response to stress (and everything else, for that matter). by the way, what is the TSH level? And what does the sheet say is "normal range" There are differing ideas about what is the "normal" range. Hmmm, suddenly I'm wanting T4 levels and pituitary exams for a lot of our kids.... [/QUOTE]
