[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 314779, member: 1550"] I know I'm late in the game, but it sounds like he may be having a bad reaction to Prozac, which can cause akathesia (the feeling of jumping out of your own skin). You can't sit still, can't focus, can't do anything...and SSRIs can cause it. Actually, any psychiatric medication can including Seroquel, but Prozac is far more likely. It was hell for me when I had akethesia...and very different from anything I'd experienced...very icky. I had to go off the medication (Zoloft) right away. It was the night of my two son's eighth grade graduation and the only way I could sit through their ceremony was (per doctor) to take one 5 mg. Valium every single hour. Otherwise, I was an adult who was climbing the walls like a difficult child. I wouldn't do stimulants with him acting this way, ADHD or not. It doesn't sound like ADHD to me right now. It sounds to me like a medication reaction. Prozac can take several months to amp up a sensitive person because the drug builds up in the system. For me it took two weeks. I'm an adult and was only on 10 mgs. of Zoloft when it made me crazy. I ended up in ER. The doctor told me it couldn't be the Zoloft. Well, it went away a few days after the Zoloft and never came back.:angry: Um, psychiatrist was wrong and fired. Good luck, whatever route you take! [/QUOTE]
