[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 575198, member: 14356"] Janet - That's interesting about the Wellbutrin acting like a stimulant. They recommended it for difficult child partly because of his ADHD - they said there is no actual proof but they find it to help with ADHD symptoms as well as depression. Guess that's why. I'm wondering about getting bipolar people compliant using antidepressants alone. Can't antidepressants alone send a bipolar person manic? That's my concern with difficult child. Have the antidepressants sent this kid manic? Is his behaviour manic enough for a bipolar diagnosis? I don't know. I know there is hypomanic as well as manic so there is some variation in manic symptoms. Just not sure if what he is doing can be explained by immaturity and rebelliousness from an ADHD kid or if it warrants a bipolar diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
