[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 545850, member: 1550"] I'm sticking to him maybe having an adverse reaction to the lithium. I'll never forgot how horrible I felt on it and how the doctor's solution was to raise the dose. Has your son had a blood level taken? Both me and my son on lithium were more tired than anything. For me, it made me lethargic. I just hated that drug. It helps a lot of people, but it made me flat and depressed Obviously your son is not having the same reaction...lol. Sounds more like he's hyped up and having side effects. Lithium is NOT an upper...lol. I know this probably didn't help you at all, but thought I'd toss it in the mix. I'm not sure that this is going to be a good medication for your son (of course, I'm not a doctor either!!) But the excited and not in a good way does still remind me of akathesa and that is a horrible feeling. You are just racing inside and barely able to sit down. He's not on a high does of Lithium, but everyone is different. I was on a low dose of Zoloft (50 mgs.) and I still got akathesa. [/QUOTE]
