[QUOTE="MyHrt31, post: 245236, member: 6666"] My son had the exact same reaction when they tried to increase his Vyvanse from 30mg to 50mg. The school called me two days in a row and TOLD me that I "did not give him his medication for hyperactivity because he was bouncing off the walls" (Don't you love it when they TELL you what you did and didn't do?) He said his heart was racing and he felt like he was "nervous". Of course, this is a stimulant so this is to be expected but the doctor was puzzled because stimulants are supposed to have a "calming" effect on children with ADHD right? He was okay on the 30 mg but when they went up, he was literally bouncing off the walls. I guess everyone reacts to medications different ways. I take Welbutrin and Topamax and both seem to make my heart speed up a little where as I've heard it has no effect on others on the same dosage as me. I feel so bad for you and your difficult child because I know how frustrating it can be to try and pinpoint what is causing certain issues. It definitely sounds like the Zoloft is the problem. My son was recently put on Invega (its for schizophrenia for adults but can be used for both bipolar/autism in children) Maybe you can ask about this medication? I don't know if it can be considered a mood stablizer but my son's aggression/irritability have decreased since he's started it (2 weeks ago). I'm no doctor so I know I shouldn't be making recommendations but it can't hurt to ask right? I hope things get better soon, for the both of you. Take care of yourself too mom! You sound like you could use a long bubble bath :happy: Let us know how everything works out [/QUOTE]
