[QUOTE="SRL, post: 50524, member: 701"] Medication reactions (not just mania) can occur within the first hours so you will want to monitor this carefully. Against my better judgment, when difficult child was on the SSRI Celexa we upped the dosage and saw manic behavior within 2 hours. He was running around and climbing up on things in ways we'd never seen before and was up for hours until it wore off. The one thing it did do was confirm that the hyperactivity we had been seeing in difficult child was due to the medication. Beware: many doctors won't listen when you express concern that this is the wrong medication, often more along the lines that they need a higher dose. [/QUOTE]
