[QUOTE="miles2go, post: 264298, member: 6374"] Thanks, susiestar, I have the book but I didn't read it all the way through. Does it talk about "addiction" to mania chemicals (dopamine level?) and the seizure theory? In the morning I was going to describe his non-medicated state from memory, also wondering whether his "speediness" was due to recent Concerta experience, but tonight I come home and see the same thing -- he is talking through clenched teeth, anything his little brother says winds him up, got into a hitting fight with older sister etc. Ask how are you -- "great", and he is, not insisting much on "his way" while I am around, though without medications he'd be screaming at teachers to go to Target and get him toys. He did score high-ish on some depression questionnaire his psychiatrist gave him maybe a year ago, saying that he feels "sad because so often he can't get his way". However, I think, the psychologist was talking Zoloft later as some newer way, from his and others experience, of treating this sort of obsessive disorder. In his ancestry I certainly see more depression/mania cycles, but I think depression comes later in life. Or is it just manifested differently? do you have any references on this different manifestation or can you describe, flutterby? Again, I thank you so much for support, I feel bad that I dont have any time to offer support to others on this forum. [/QUOTE]
