[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 113591, member: 2423"] This is my understanding of mania -- it can be triggered by many things, such as antidepressants, bipolar disorder, anxiety, even brain injury. However it is induced, mania is treated the same way -- with mood stabilizers and/or atpyical antipsychotics. My daughter, for example, became manic while taking the SSRI Paxil initially prescribed for depression. We treated her with mood stabilizers (first Depakote and then Lamictal) and then added in the SSRI Lexapro because she was still depressed. She is currently very stable. We don't know if she has BiPolar (BP) or not. We plan to d/c Lexapro this spring to see if she's still depressed (because she's been on it for a year and depression can be episodic and remit). We at some point will test her off Lamictal as well to see if she still needs it. Your difficult child's mania could have been induced by Prozac, even if he doesn't have BiPolar (BP). [/QUOTE]
