[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 105992, member: 2423"] Welcome! Your difficult child is not really on medications that treat bipolar disorder. Buproprian (brand name is Wellbutrin) is a stimulatory antidepresant that can cause mania and mood swings in kids with BiPolar (BP). Adderall, which is prescribed for ADHD, can increase anger and aggression. Seroquel is an atypical antipsychotic that is used to calm anxiety, anger and aggression in kids with BiPolar (BP), but the dose your difficult child is taking is very low and likely not to counter the bad side effects of the other two medications. How long has he been on these medications? Is there any way you can talk to the psychiatrist about appropriate treatment of BiPolar (BP) (check out the treatment guidelines on the website [url]http://www.thebalancedmind.org/[/url] ) If not, is there any way you can get a second opinion about the medications? I'm afraid this psychiatrist is not doing your difficult child any favors. [/QUOTE]
