[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 100827, member: 1550"] I believe Prozac can cause the crime spree. We had awful experiences with Prozac here and I'm shocked that it's approved for kids. I have bipolar II and Prozac made me shaky, hyper, and both sleepy and wild at the same time--very strange feeling. Prozac had my teenage daughter pull a knife on herself. Prozac made my son psychotic--her had never been before or since, but on Prozac he thought he could fly and would try to fly. My son was misdiagnosed with bipolar and while on Depakote it made him wild. I'd want a second opinion on whether or not he has bipolar. I'd want a neuropsychologist exam. The drugs you take for bipolar are very heavy duty and ya wanna be sure. I'm on the "better to be safe than sorry" end. My son is not bipolar. Four medication-free years after he was loaded with mood stabilizers and antipsychotics he is not only much better, but he is able to learn more in school. THose drugs really zoned out his brain. Of course, some kids NEED medications, and some HAVE bipolar, but I'd want to double and triple check opinions. My son is on the autism spectrum, high functioning, and the bipolar treatment just wasn't helping him at all. In fact, it hurt him. They told me had "Mania" too. In fact, he just had normal Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) hyper-ness. ADHD/bipolar/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) look a lot alike which is why I always tell everyone to see a neuropsychologist. They do the longest most intensive testing of any professionals. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
