So son number 2 went back to hospital with mania and psychosis 10 days after taking lsd. Lamictal did not hold him together in hindsight, he started to unravel at the beginning of July but as he is only 18 I am only beginning to see the pattern. He is still delusional but not bad enough to keep him hospitalized, even though he appears unpredictable and on occasions aggressive.
Son number one is taking lithium following his extreme manic and psychotic event that lasted for three and a half months and ended in early June. I am beginning to see a change in him over the past week, does lithium prevent mania and psychosis?
