[QUOTE="klmno, post: 227388, member: 3699"] Ok- we tried the combo of raising the depakote, adding the celxa, then allergy medications and albuterol were added- difficult child became aggressive- so I took him off the celexa and lowered the depakote to where it was before until he got over the physical illness. After he was off the albuterol and allergy medications, I talked with psychiatrist, then I increased depakote (with the direction that if this caused "agitation" to lower it back- if not- after 5 days I was to add the AD). So, I raised the depakote, difficult child started cutting, then became somewhat defiant ( he left home without permission to hang around the boy who was cutting and being completely disrespectful and he was acting like he didn't care about what I told him he needed to do). I call police and have him tdo-d. The psychiatric hospital keeps him on the increased dose of depakote, but does not add the celexa. I bring him home from psychiatric hospital, (that was about 10 days after increase of depakote), he still had not been aggressive or violent, Then two days afterwards, I add the starting (low dose) of celexa and he became extremely short-tempered and violent a few hours afterwards. But, then he was fine and friendly, but became aggressive again later that evening. I honestly do not know if it was medication related; or if it was medication related- I tend to think it is the depakote (I saw him get really wierd on an increased dose last year). But, could it have been the celexa- even though he had just started on a very low dose that morning? FWIW- I put him back on the regular medications (lower dose of depakote and NO celexa) on Fri- and he's been great. Now, I have also been watchful and careful of my actions- so I don;t know what to contribute it to. [/QUOTE]
