My 17 year old son has been in a pscyh hospital for three weeks. He has been delusional since he went manic after taking vyvanse 8 weeks ago. He was placed on mood stabilizers. 3 psychiatrists have diagnosed him as bipolar 1 over the past couple of years, but there is drug abuse. His new hopital have diagnosed him as emerging borderline instead. They took him off his moodstabiliser and placed hiim on Prozac. They upped his dose to 30 mg, the next day he was saying things that were odd. His eyes were big. The following day he was withdrawn, guarded and paranoid. He opened up to us and thought he was being controlled by hypnosis by the hospital, because it was an experimental hospital. They were controlling him with colors too. He kept blanking out. The next day he was very agitated and wanted to see his records to see how they were controlling him. When they refused to give them to him he tore up the place, had to receive booty juice. He has never done anything like this before. They think it was because he received the diagnosis and was told a few days before he would be going on to a Wilderness program and reacted because he is borderline. What was this? Psychosis, mania brought on by prozac or borderline behavior, can someone help me answer this? He is now on an antipsychotic, off the prozac, still paranoid but his eyes are normal.
