[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 27301, member: 2423"] Now I remember. Not only could the stimulants be agitating him, but the Zoloft could be, too. I think we told you before that if he's worse on antidepressants and stimulants, you might need to have the psychiatrist consider a diagnosis of a mood disorder that should be treated with mood stabilizers. Anxiety can lie at the heart of mood disorders. FWIW, my son's first diagnosis was ADHD and anxiety. He had a prolonged intense manic reaction to Zoloft (25 mg). He is now on mood stabilizers with low doses of an antidepressant and stimulant. He's doing much better now. Unfortunately, therapy can help, but not until the child is stable and can access it. I don't mean to be discouraging, but you might find that to be true in your difficult child's case. [/QUOTE]
