mood stabilizers first - ron and mom

Ron:

Do you think there is any reason Not to out a mood stabilizer in place first? I ask because I felt that should have been my first treatment - it was not. I was placed on AD's, then atypical AP's, then Neurontin + AD... on and on. Only when I really pushed it was I given Topamax to try. And eventually have ended up on Depakote, with a trial for a stim to offset the ADD-like side effects.

I can't imagine why a pdoc wouldn't try a stabilizer first, whether they're certain of the BP or the ADD diagnosis. Would there be an ill-effect?

Just curious.
