Hi, sorry to enter here somewhat late.

I noted here that you ask,
Quote:
I gotta ask again what the meds were one was Resperal and Lamotrigine.
and have to ask some question:

- did you mean Risperdal instead of Resperal? - Resperal is a cold formula, Risperdal is a med for Bipolar Disorder/Schizophrenia.

- Lamotrigine is Lamictal Bipolar and Seizures.

Sadly, as Mark alludes to Mental Health care via Insurance coverages in this country is paltry to say the least, and families are usually on their own; top that with the fact that many problems are caught late and forced to be dealt with by mostly practitioners with their own thought processes and no true experiences with PCS/ Concussions or long term TBI care.

ADHD is often a longtime over-diagnosed condition in the young and adult, according to many, even in the APA, so it has been considered that many conditions might be missed for the long term, and allowed to fulminate before any true care could be offered to curtail long term problems.

Couple that with Bipolar Disorder, Schizo affective Disorders, and ADHD problems being associated with PCS/Post-Concussion problems, you do face a long term course of events, which will take its toll on your son, and the family.

Please try to hang in, continue with a trusted Neuropsych team you can work with, that can reach your son; and you and them work to obtain his cooperation to continue the care.

The neuropsych will have to write a strong, convincing letter to the insurance company to convince the need of longer term care coverage, somehow.

Again, the Neck evaluations are strongly needed, and need follow up , keep up on the vitamin/supplements from Mark's suggestions, keep the Neurologist involved fully.

I am so sorry you are going through this.

Medication update: Topamax 200mg twice daily it seems to minimize daily headaches to a 1-2/10 quality(I still know they are there); and acute headaches erupt without warnings.
