[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 149630, member: 2423"] JJJ, because two of your children are being treated for BiPolar (BP), you should read Chapter 4 of [I]The Bipolar Child[/I], which goes into great detail about which medications should and shouldn't be prescribed. SSRI antidepressants like Zoloft, in particular, can send children into mania, even with a mood stabilizer on board. In other words, mood stabilizers have a hard time working their magic against the destabilizing effects of an SSRI. I would recommend weaning Tigger from Zoloft to see if you can get a baseline on behavior. You can then decide whether he needs a new MS instead of and in addition to Depakote. [/QUOTE]
