[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 360568, member: 1550"] I'm surprised nobody picked out the imiprimine as the reason for hyper-mania. Has he been on it long or increased it? I took imiprimine and it worked well for six months (I may have been a tad hypomanic, but I liked it). Then one night I started hallucinating and had to go to ER and my imiprimine level was in the toxic range. Imiprimine is funny that way...it can build up like that. My own son had terrible side effects to Risperdal and Zyprexa...awful, horrible, scary ones. But he did ok side effects wise on Seroquel. I think that may be more mild. Maybe hub will let him try that. I understand your hub's fear. My son and I have been on tons of medications and I can tell you that sometimes the side effects are worse than the problem. It's very hit and miss. I totally think you should try Melatonin or Benadryl (an allergy medication) for sleep while the new medications kick in. Both worked for my son, short-term. I wish you good luck. And I'd look at the imiprimine. I have a mood disorder and have been on so many medications I don't know if I can remember them all. My son was misdiagnosed with bipolar and he was on a slew of medications too. We've had our share of experience. [/QUOTE]
