[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 68140, member: 1550"] Zoloft alone has the ability to cause mania, or akethasia. I did on 50 mgs. of Zoloft. As it loaded into my body it threw me into a state where I eventually couldn't even sit down--it was horrible. If I'd been taking a stimulant as well, I think I would have needed to have been admitted to the hospital. Yes, Zoloft alone can cause that (it did me) so I can only imagine what a stimulant and Zoloft can do. That doesn't mean they WILL do it--everyone is different--but if you are seeing hyperness and manic behaviors, I would wonder more if it's due to Zoloft rather than ADHD. Personally, I would never put my child on two activating medications. I'd definitely call the doctor. It can escalate. I would see a neuropsychologist. I'd be wondering if easy child has Aspergers Syndrome, especially since he has so much trouble writing. If not Aspergers, I'd wonder about a non-verbal learning disability. Although you didn't get much for your difficult child, the neuropsychologist may really help easy child. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
