Narrative:
Location: takeoff 2500 ft south of dfw runway 18L. After takeoff at about 2500 ft while hand flying, the stabilizer trim uncommanded started rolling back 'pitched up,' then started rolling forward 'pitched down.' the stabilizer trim wheel was moving forward. When I tried to move the stabilizer trim back with the yoke switches, the trim wheel would then start moving forward after I released the trim switches. I turned off the overhead stabilizer trim switches. Trimmed the aircraft with the trim wheel. Declared an emergency and returned to dfw. We landed 700 pounds overweight.
