Hi all. Wish us luck. My 12 year old son has been home for a month, he could not do school due to anger, impulsiveness. He is bipolar 1, severe with psychosis. He is taking depakote 1500, and lithum 900- we tried increasing the lithium to 1200, but that did not do it. So our pdoc (he is very experienced) decided to let us try lamictal. The slow increase is making us all impatient!! My son is also on geodon at 120mg. Please pray for us, it has been a year since he has been really stable! He won't go back to school unless he has improved, and I have taken 6 weeks from my job. My son has all his needs met at school, so when he is stable he does really well. I have found the posts here about lamictal very helpfull, and it gives me hope. Thanks for any replies, Karen Curtis.
