[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 54039, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm glad you found us. Have you read much about treating bipolar disorder? You might want to check out the treatment guidelines [url]http://www.thebalancedmind.org/sites/default/files/treatment_guidelines.pdf[/url] In general, children with bipolar disorder should not take stimulants or antidepressants (like Strattera) because those medications can make them much, much worse. In addition, medications like Clonidine have been known to induce mania in kids with BiPolar (BP). Furthermore, kids with BiPolar (BP) generally are treated with a mood stabilizer (Depakote, Lamictal, Lithium, Tegretol and Trileptal), sometimes in conjunction with an atypical antipsychotic like Seroquel. Seroquel on its own cannot counter the bad effects of Strattera or Clonidine. In fact, the only way to get rid of those bad side effects is to wean your son from Strattera and Clonidine. Please ask the prescribing doctor about the medications being used to treat your son. [/QUOTE]
