[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 245234, member: 3419"] Compassion, we must have been posting at the same time. I think that his hyperactivity on Friday was due to the Zoloft. It is a relatively new behavior and the last time he was this agitated was also when we trialed Zoloft. We will continue it for a few more days just to make sure. He is home all weekend, and they have Mon. off, so that helps us keep an eye on him. He has his first baseball practice tomorrow so that will be the litmus test! The list above, which I cut and pasted from the medication page that klmno linked, is more typical for difficult child. IOW, his "daily" attitude. The "mania" is new and coincidental with-the Zoloft. When he stays up all night playing PS2 (stealing it from our hiding place) he is exhausted the next day and cannot get up. I think he'd need a more extended period of mania to really qualify for bipolar. Right now his behavior seems to fall more into the impulsivity and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) categories. All we can do is observe and take notes and take it one day at a time. He has done his chores today and was argumentative but I just turned my back and told him, No chores, no PS2. Lo and behold, he did the chores. He CAN control himself. [/QUOTE]
