Trileptal isn't that strong of a mood stabilizer, so it may not affect your

son's mood at all. It helps some and not others. Stormy

> What dose are they going to give your son? My son takes Trileptal because he

had a seizure a few years ago and his EEG still isn't normal. He's never had a

seizure since but he did develop OCD a few months ago. We are trying inositol

and we are on our 3rd week of full dose (6g, he is 8). Trileptal doesn't seem to

affect his mood at all. He does have to have his blood drawn to check levels

because the medicine can do something to his electrolytes.

My dd does not sleep well.  SHe did as an infant/toddler.  But since OCD came

on, she has been a horrible sleeper.  Wondering about others??  She was a

wonderful sleeper before.

I remember when 's OCD began that first year, I saw a few things in his

sleep, movements, but they were also ones I saw some when he was awake. I

remember thinking, poor guy can't even get away from it in his sleep! Little

hand movements, etc. Stopped eventually as OCD got better. Maybe she'll be the

same?

other posts, I wonder if others have any experience with adding Zyprexa or

Serequel (?) to augment the Lexapro since Risperdal really did help her.. The

odd thing was, she didn't get the twitches from the risperdal until 2 things.

She moved up in dose, so we stopped it, THEN the twitches started, when we

stopped? and she would drift off to sleep, and suddenly she would just start. It

was unnerving.
