[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 50535, member: 2423"] I do think you have to distinguish between medication reaction and mania. A medication reaction doesn't necessarily mean mania and consequently a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. My easy child/difficult child 2 had a very strange reaction to Paxil (which we have since been told is common when children take Paxil -- hence most psychiatrists won't prescribe Paxil for children), and while she is taking Lamictal for mood stabilization, we have no idea how she would react to a different SSRI on its own. There is a chance her psychiatrist may remove her Lamictal to see how she does on just Lexapro. [/QUOTE]
