[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 74943, member: 1550"] I refused to fight over homework. I told the school that I wouldn't fight nonstop with my son and destroy our peace over homework--I could see my son was too stressed out from a full day of school to do it, and I cared more about his mental health than homework. His IEP now states "no homework." Six hours of school was tiring enough for him. Adding to the day made him fall apart. Not saying YOU should do it,b ut it's an option if you feel your child is like mine. If your son is bipolar, it's normal to see him getting too happy or too sad. I'd maybe talk to your psychiatrist about the medications. He's not on a mood stabilizer and antidepressant can activate bipolars and cause even more moodswings. Notriptylene was one antidepressant I took (I have bipolar). It's not as strong as some, but in certain people with BiPolar (BP) it could activate. Mood stabilizers are Lithium, Lamictal, Depakote, Trileptal and Tegretal. Seroquel is an antipsycotic and they don't usually hold well as mood stabilizers over the long haul, espsecailly with an antidepressant in place. [/QUOTE]
