[QUOTE="klmno, post: 300708, member: 3699"] Heather, is this being diagnosis'd for the difficult child with a bipolar rule-out? If so, don't be surprised if it complicates things more. My son started with a diagnosis of major depression and rule-out BiPolar (BP) and was put on 10 mg of prozac. He stayed erratic for 6 weeks then suddenly and drastically "calmed". At the time, we thought it was a result of the prozac so we left him on it. A year later, his prozac dosage was doubled and he went manic. Now we don't know if it was medication-induced mania or true BiPolar (BP). I'm just suggesting that you proceed cautiously with this and keep a close eye on any change of character or behavior.
