[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 30874, member: 1498"] Why is a child diagnosed with bipolar taking an antidepressant to begin with, particularly when there is no moodstablizer on board? Nortriptyline is not a bipolar medication. Hyperactivity and mania are really hard to tell apart. How can a doctor diagnose bipolar, put a kid on an antidepressant then insist that any hyperactivity is ADHD and not mania? by the way, the Seroquel won't stop mania caused by an antidepressant. The only way to treat antidepressant induced mania (or anitdepressant induced bipolar) is to discontinue the antidepressant. [/QUOTE]
