[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 467249"] I know mine got violent on Celexa and worse on Risperdal. Can't say you're having the same problem (mine reacted to Intuniv as well, but it wasn't a violence issue) but from here it's not something I would rule out, either. Kiddo took a couple weeks of progressively worse behavior before we figured out it was the Celexa. With the weather the way it is, I've seen a rise in violent crimes where I live recently, and adding in the season/light change and the start of cold/flu season, it all bundles into a nice little package of wacko behavior all over the place. She's had a bad couple of weeks lately herself, ever since she came down with a cold that started with a racking dry cough. She seems to be mostly over it now, and hasn't had an incident since Monday morning, so I'm really hoping it was just because she was sick. When she was little and coming down with something, her behavior would show it before physical symptoms appeared. As a general rule, she's very vocal about any physical discomforts, regardless of how minor, but when she's really getting sick it shows in behavior first. There's also a surprising amount of over the counter stuff (including supplements and "natural" medications) that react badly with medications like Celexa. I had gotten her some cough syrup, natural stuff, and starting looking up the stuff on the label and putting it against a medication interaction checker. The results were scary and no way I'm ever giving her this stuff - even something as simple and oft-used for colds as goldenseal do NOT mix with her current medications. Nor was that the only ingredient in this natural cough medication that doesn't mix with her medications. This isn't to scare you, but merely to emphasize that with these kids you can't take things at face value - there are so many possibilities and even stuff that is supposedly safe for kids might no longer be safe for them even if it was before, and things can be simple or alarmingly complex.
