Welcome Lost2907. An anti-depressant without a mood stabilizer often causes hypomania or mania in a person with bipolar. If your son is being treated by a Psychiatrist let him or her know the symptoms you're observing. If your son is being treated by a GP I suggest you have him referred to a Psychiatrist (ideally one that specializes with children). I'm sorry you're going through this.
