I wrote a long responds that got erased.

My son has mood disorder nos, adhd & aspergers. ADHD medication was horrible for him before his mood was stabilized on lamictal. The ADHD meds made his meltdowns worse because of its crash. It wasn't until the daytrana patch that he had a stable amount of ADHD medication. It would ware out around diner so he takes his abilify at dinner. The abilify is the only medication he needs to swallow. I personally think the seroquel worked so much better then the abilify but my husband changed him to abilify. Resparadal did nothing for my son or husband.

We home school our son to be able to deal with med changes and the ability to opt out of activities on bad days w/o getting an absence.
