[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 30804, member: 2423"] Why would ex think Nortriptyline would solve the hyperactivity problem? It's not an ADHD medication but an antidepressant, and if anything, a higher dose would make difficult child more manic and hyperactive. Why isn't difficult child on a mood stabilizer? I agree with you that maybe difficult child isn't experiencing ADHD at all, but hyperactivity brouht on by mania. Adding a mood stabilizer and discontinuing Nortriptyline might be the ticket.
