> > Teachers said ben was a little hyper, noncompliant and self talking a LOT today. COuld the zoloft and buspar combo be causing this? still at 75 mg. zoloft and 10 mg. buspar. He did go to sleep very late last night....but I thought it was possibly because he slept in yesterday. I am not sure. It's a drag because he was MUCH better the last day or so since we added the buspar. Maybe it's just now "kicking in"?

> It is going to be hard to tell for quite awhile just yet-remember he still has Abilify in his system that is washing out. Buspar takes at least ten days to have much of any positive effects. Unfortunately, you will have to wait. Have you talked to his doc yet?I spoke to the doc this afternoon. He said forget the buspar for now and go UP on the zoloft to 100 mgs. I am really nervous about this. He asked me if the obsessions were better and I told him that yes they were....not as "urgent" as they had been. He said that Ben would not get that "hypomania" that he had on tegretol (darn....that was when he was SOOOOOO good!- class clown!)on zoloft. He mentioned that he wanted to think about adding or trying either strattera or wellbutrin possibly. Will speak to him again soon, I am sure.
What do you think?
