[QUOTE="klmno, post: 215432, member: 3699"] Thanks, rm. Actually, my difficult child started on prozac as his only medication when we thought he was unipolar depression. It was an increase (doubling ) of the prozac dosage that might have put him into mania and led to his 1 1/2 hr crime spree. He was removed from medications at that point and evaluation's by his psychiatrist for 6-8 weeks, resulting in being put on mood stabilizers. He has been on mood stabilizers ever since. I had him evaluation'd by a different, well-reknowned psychiatrist after that and she felt like an AD on top of the MS's might be a good idea because she felt like my son still has depression issues. The regular psychiatrist and I were reluctant to do that and have waited a year without doing it. My son typically has a depressive period this time of year- this is the 4th year, so I'm ok with it, I think, right now. However, I'm not positive yet that it's the way to go year round. PS At least I know what to look out for this times, in terms of signs of hypomania and mania. [/QUOTE]
