[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 245237, member: 3419"] Thank you, Myhrt. I did not see Invega on that list but I'll Google it. The racing heartbeat sounds VERY familiar. klmno, he only shows some of the manic symptoms, and not to a large degree, either in length of time or being unable to cope. [LIST] [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Increased physical and mental activity and energy [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (He's always been like this) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Extreme optimism and self-confidence [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (Does this incl. not needing lessons for music, tennis or baseball because he "knows" it?) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Grandiose thoughts, increased sense of self-importance [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (?) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Irritability, anger [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (Always) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Aggressive behavior [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (Not any more) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Decreased need for sleep without feeling tired [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (Only on rare occasions, only lasting one night at a time) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Racing speech, racing thoughts [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (No.) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Impulsiveness, poor judgment [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (Yes.) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]Reckless behavior such as spending sprees, major business decisions, careless driving and sexual promiscuity [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (Don't know. :) It sounds like his bmom, though. :) ) [*][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][FONT=Times New Roman]In severe cases, delusions and hallucinations (thinking, seeing or hearing things that aren't true or don't exist) [B][FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT][/B][/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] (No.) [/LIST]I think he's still too young for us to know. His behavior is still impulsive but that could be so many things. I am not ruling out bipolar. Just not ruling it in. ;) And I'm not sure that this psychiatrist is the best in the world. She does have a lot of kids in her waiting room and seems to understand the argumenetativeness and denial, but she's always so rushed, and such a pill pusher, I'm not sold on all the medications.
