[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 170060, member: 1498"] More than make bipolar worse, the combination of drugs that your son is on can cause behaviors that can result in an erroneous diagnosis of bipolar. The daily withdrawal from stimulants (Focalin) can cause what is known as "stimulant rebound" which is often misdiagnosed as some sort of mood disorder or the other. Antidepressants (Zoloft) can cause mood swings, mania, aggression, hostility, etc. There is actually a form of bipolar called antidepressant induced mania/bipolar. There is no way an acurate diagnosis of bipolar can be made with a stimulant and an antidepressant on board, especially for a child so young. [/QUOTE]
