Abilify works very well with Vyvanse. Abilify is a mood-stabiliser similar to zyprexa and seroquel. Abilify is weight-neutral and has lower rates of akathisia than other atypical anti-psychotics. I also take Cymbalta for anxiety and PTSD. Vyvanse has worked extremely well for me. I have also been diagnosed with dysphoric mania, which is a "mixed-state" bipolar II disorder. I have been stable for over a year on these three medications.

Your daughter has ADHD and bipolar she is on 40mg of Vyvanse and 12mg serequel all the sudden she is behaving strange what are some other options besides serequel?
Let me begin by saying that I hope your daughter is being followed by a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner that specializes in working with children. I am not a doctor, however I have worked with individuals, of all ages, with a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. A diagnosis of bipolar disorder and ADHD is not uncommon, but it can be difficult to treat, because many medications used to treat ADHD can trigger Bipolar Mania. I would not be surprised if the vyvanse triggers symptoms of mania at various times of the year. I would continue taking seroquel, discontinue the vyvanse, and start Straterra. Honestly, (again, I am not a physician) the only ADHD med that I trust, with an individual who has Bipolar, is Straterra. Straterra is not typically prescribed to children, however it is the only medication that treats ADHD which is not a stimulant. Check out my previous post about Bipolar Treatments: What are effective treatments for bipolar disorder Be well.

Can you mix lithium and Valium?
They can be taken to together, however some may not be so physically tolerant if medications. Lithium is a mineral found in the earth and has feel good properties that will sedate the highs and lows of Bipolar. I take Valium as well which is a sedative also a feel good medication. Lithium taken for a light case of bipolar and Valium taken ONLY IF YOU HAVE PANIC disorder which is different than general anxiety disorder can be a powerful duo of medication used to sedate bipolar symptoms and Valium to sedate the debilitating effects of panic disorder. Works great for some, you should consult a Psyciatrist to see if the combo would work for you.
