Gavin started Lithium today. So far so good as we haven’t seem anything negative (probably to soon to tell). He also began the meds to treat the facial ticks and that does seem to be helping. The facial ticks have been getting worse each day . Hopefully this new medication will help.
Lithium
I totally know how you feel on the meds thing or son has taken or is taking in no particular order:
Trileptal, Ritalin, Concerta, Lithium, Abilify, Seroquel, Geodon, Fluoxitene… the list goes on and on. He just got switched to a new one used for PTSD – Lamictal… so far not much change, but it's only been a month.
I hope your son has good luck with Lithium!
