[QUOTE="seriously, post: 457873, member: 11920"] I am not a doctor but I have some strong reactions to your story based on my personal experiences and experiences with my son. Stop the prozac today if there is even the smallest chance she is bipolar. Sounds like hypomania to me - as in the kind I get where I giggle and can't stop talking. No I don't jump around topics, just tend to have poor impulse control then so I will interrupt others, say slightly inappropriate things, touch you on the arm or elsewhere while I'm talking (when ordinarily I wouldn't do that), take over the conversation. I also tend to eat quickly, dress differently (louder colors mainly), do everything quickly and get impatient with others who go slower than me. If her friends are noticing it then it is likely to be way out of the norm for someone her age. Which would suggest hypomania too. Find a different psychiatrist if possible. Preferably a child psychiatrist. If she's having trouble sleeping, getting up really early, becoming more impulsive, I would be watchful and make sure all medications are locked up. And get her to a good psychiatrist ASAP. Hope things settle down soon. [/QUOTE]
