[QUOTE="keista, post: 457717, member: 11965"] Prozac is very helpful to many ppl, but certainly not for everyone. It worked for DD1 for a few weeks, and then her symptoms got worse. Dosage was increased several times, and each time symptoms got better and then worse, so I took her off it. She was 8 at the time. As it turns out, if there is even a suspicion of bipolar, SSRIs are NOT recommended unless mood has been stabilized with a mood stabilizer. That "hyper" feeling your difficult child is reporting, may be mania/hypomania as opposed to the "hyper" in ADHD. And while it may seem benign and just annoying, if it is mania/hypomania, it can end up "ugly" if not controlled. [/QUOTE]
