[QUOTE="klmno, post: 100744, member: 3699"] difficult child was taken off all medications for 6-8 weeks this summer to re-evaluation his baseline. Tendencies toward mania (maybe not full-blown) were more than apparent. He his having blood tests and psychiatrist said he's due one as soon as Depakote is at a level we think is working. psychiatrist thinks the prozac might have induced mania. I tend to think mania (again, maybe not full-blown) was there in winter/early spring 2005, when I was taking difficult child to doctor after doctor saying "I don't know what happened". Anyway, it appeared to me that prozac could have, and probably did, send difficult child to a different league, but that bipolar tendencies (several) were already there. In a situation like this, do you think mood stabilizers could be making things worse? Thanks! And don't worry- I'll still be discussing all this with psychiatrist this week at our appointment.
