[QUOTE="klmno, post: 234409, member: 3699"] Please don't make any medication changes based just on what I throw out or without your prescribing dr's approval. I'm not a dr and certainly can't suggest the right medications for anyone- nor do I know his diagnosis. I am under the impression though, that stims and SSRI's (and personlly, I also think allergy/asthmatic medications) can make some kids hyper or manic or aggressive and that doesn't necessarily mean they are bipolar. I would suggest discussing it with a psychiatrist or getting a second opinion. Especially if any of these behaviors came about or got worse after the addition of a medication or an increase in dosage. But, the main thing is, if the medication isn't helping your child or is causing problems in some other area (behavior for instance), then it doesn't sound like the right medication. My son has not been on any of the medications you list for your difficult child, but he has had bad reactions to prozac and others. I have heard that sometimes the bad reactions occur even after months of being on a medication that seemingly was effective, but I don't know for sure about how often that occurs or anything.
