Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Hi Stephany-just wanted to ask-this is what happened to my daughter on Trileptal-her OCD nearly all went away but it seemed to free her, somehow, to also let the oppositional behavior come back thru. She is not depressed at all but absolutely more attitude. I have to ask the pdoc but do you know if you go higher on the mood stabilizer would more of the odd stuff disappear or would odd get even worse??? Thanks-Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 I'm not sure the mood stabilizer actually causes more oppositional behavior-I think maybe our other one-Topamax caused so many ill effects, we were ingrossed in that and didn't have the energy to be oppositional! A couple of weeks ago when we first started the Trileptal, she was so happy that the OCD was disappearing, we asked the pdoc if we could cut down on the antipsychotic-she gasped no, not yet-I'll bet she had experience with what could happen!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Hi, I tried to submit this before and had trouble. Hope this isn't a repeat. did the same thing on depakote--no ocd but very overbearing etc. I couldn't stand it. She does better on antipsychotics as her mood stabilizer because they have such great anti-agression properties. I have heard this happening on various mood stabilizers though--just have to find the right one/right dosage. Stephany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
