[QUOTE="klmno, post: 100755, member: 3699"] Regarding the prozac- difficult child was diagnosis'd with- major depression (rule out bipolar because no one in my family had been diagnosis'd with- bipolar but we do have depression/anxiety issues) at an acute hospital in Feb 2005 and put on VERY low dose of prozac. six weeks later, I stopped therapist who was only dealing with- conduct issues not emotional or adjustment issues and difficult child was like old self again. I never knew if it was therapist or prozac, but was too afraid to change anything. There were signs of depression, then behavior issues at school in winter of this past year. psychiatrist doubled prozac dosage, sd said they "couldn't deal with- an out of control difficult child", then difficult child went on crime spree- all within 3 week period. So, here we are!! I have since read that the prozac inducing mania might not happen right away- it might be months before it happens. I can't blame psychiatrist- it was the hospital that put him on it. But, it was me that sat up there and said "I don't think it could be bipolar- no one in my family is bipolar". If there is blame, it goes to several of us, including me. I shed MANY tears over what I wish I had known. [/QUOTE]
