[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 244761, member: 2423"] When did you restart the Zoloft? There are two different reactions to SSRIs that can be confused with each other: disinhibition and mania. Disinhibition begins right when you start the medication and includes hyperactivity and talkativity. This is considered a side effect of the SSRI and typically goes away once the medication is out of the system. Mania generally begins at the three-week or three-month mark and includes increased energy (to the point of not needing sleep), "mission mode," intense irritability and aggression. Mania does not go away even when the medication is discontinued and out of the body. But even SSRI-induced mania does not in and of itself diagnosis bipolar disorder. It is felt among the NIMH researchers in Bethesda, MD, that the child must have a manic episode separate from a drug reaction to be considered to have BiPolar (BP). I suspect your difficult child is experiencing a side effect reaction to Zoloft and would want to ask the psychiatrist whether the side effects will improve over time or whether the medication needs to be discontinued.
