[QUOTE="Fran, post: 293162, member: 3"] Hello and welcome. Sounds like you have done a very good job of balancing all the kids needs. Manic behavior tends to run in families. Any history of mood disorder, self medicating with illegal drugs or alcohol? How does difficult child 2 do in school? What are her teachers saying about her? How does she do with her peers? Does she have any outside hobbies or friends? Has she been evaluated by a certified clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist, pediatrician. psychiatrist? Hyper behavior isn't a problem unless it interferes with her functioning. Medication is not a punishment for bad behavior but a tool to help a person/child to regain control. It is generally thought that any manic behavior should not be medicated with antidepressants until a mood stabilizer has been introduced. It can trigger a mania when give before the mood stabilizer. On the other hand, you may want to see if any specific foods trigger her hyper activity. Allergies have been the culprit for some kids. We probably have more questions than answers but I'm glad you found us and hope we can offer some suggestions and support. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
