[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 51407, member: 2423"] Children with bipolar disorder frequently can't handle antidepressants like Effexor and Remeron. These ADs can make them aggressive and violent, even with a mood stabilizer like Depakote and an atypical antipsychotic like Seroquel on board. My difficult child 1 became aggressive on Effexor after taking it for just 8 days, and he was on Depakote at the time (we immediately discontinued Effexor). Have you talked to a child psychiatrist about your difficult child's medications? Before you assume that he can't be helped and he may have a personality disorder, you really have to take a good hard look at his medications. The wrong medication combo could be the key to his aggression. The book The Bipolar Child by Demitri and Janice Papalos is very helpful. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
