[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 133476, member: 2423"] If he has a mood disorder, then you still treat it as if it's BiPolar (BP) -- with mood stabilizers (one and sometimes two) plus an atypical antipsychotic. Geodon sounds as if it's revving him up rather than settling him down so you may have to switch to a different AP. Focalin XR could also be stirring him up. We struggled with my son's mood instability for two years until we dropped stimulants and antidepressants altogether and stuck only to mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics. He's doing the best he's done in years. [/QUOTE]
