[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 114097, member: 1550"] When did he start the Straterra? I know that can cause BIG trouble with bipolar kids, even on a mood stabilizer. When I thought my son had bipolar I used to chat on CABF, a site for parents of children with early onset bipolar. Straterra tended to totally destabilize bipolar kids. It's an antidepressant that can cause moodswings, irritability and mania. But it takes a few months to totally kick in, before you see the bad effects. Many bipolar kids can't tolerate any ADHD medications and you deal with it through school interventions. It's not worth the falling apart of the child to put them on ADHD medications. [/QUOTE]
