[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 37520, member: 1550"] Metadate can cause mania, even with a mood stabilizer, but there is also the rebound effect. How is he sleeping? That "bipolar can't happen in a child" isn't true. I had it as a child, remember the moodswings, the rages, and the hyper-ness for me was a combo of hypomania and anxiety (big time anxiety). If so, according to Dimitri and Janet Papalos who wrote "The Bipolar Child" and are sort of known as pioneers for childhood bipolar, the kids should be on mood stabilizers for at least six months before any stims are slowly introduced. Some BiPolar (BP) kids can't take stims at all, even with co-morbid ADHD.You may want to get a second opinion. I trust "mom gut." About the mood stabilizers, Topomax and Depakote can cause serious cognitive dulling, not in everyone, but in some. My daughter threw Depakote in the garbage, saying it made her "stupid." It's very individual. [/QUOTE]
