[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen took a small amount of an antipsychotic to manage irritability. It worked well for us. He had many fewer outbursts and felt better. The antipsychotics doses for irritatability are much smaller than for bipolar or schizophrenia. Like 2mg for irritability versus 15mg for the serious mental illnesses. So it might be worth a trial if your kid is having life difficulties and supports the change. [/quote] Also kid was already taking an SNRI, so this was a second medication. SNRI helped with depression but there was still irritability. Zoloft and the more anti anxiety meds made him almost hysterical and jumpy. [/quote]
