[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 111843, member: 1550"] Janna, my own opinion is that the Luvox (an antidepressant) is causing a typical manic reaction. I've had many of them myself. Lucas can't take antidepressants. He took Prozac and thought he could fly and kept jumping off his desk at school plus he never shut up, which was the opposite of what he's like. It was the only time in his life that i got a call from school. I would consider removing it. We dealt with Lucas's hyperness with school interventions. As he got older, he turned into a couch potato. At times, I long for his hyper days...lol. You can't fix every annoying symptom with medications. Wish ya could! LUcas no longer acts hyperactive, but he gets up early. I just let it go. It's either his own body chemistry or maybe it's an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) thang. If it were my kid, I'd stop looking for that magic pill. And this from a mom who had my son on almost every medication imaginable until I realized that they don't help him. And some make him worse. Stims DO NOT HELP all Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. Neither do antidepressants. I was told Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are sensitive to medications. Intervention helped Lucas so much more. He actually had to learn to calm down himself. And he did learn. JMO [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
