[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 214226, member: 1550"] I have bipolar II. If he has it, and it's all opinion with doctors plus seeing their reaction to medication, stimulants and Zoloft would probably make him worse, even suicidal. I recommend a fresh, second opinion and I'd never never ever count on school to diagnose. they just don't hire the best and brightest. I'd go to a neuropsychologist. If there is bipolar in the family it is very hereditary and not everyone with bipolar has obvious highs and lows. A mood stabilizer would then be the medication that would work the best. I was on Zoloft once (50 mgs.) and ended up in the hospital within two weeks. Please...get another opinion and don't rely on school or a therapist. He's getting older--go to the big gun--I like NeuroPsychs best. Some go to Psychiatrists (with the MD). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
