[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 227401, member: 1233"] My first gut reaction is that the celexa is at the root of at least some of it. Why? because when I was on celexa I felt like putting my fist THROUGH the face of everyone who even spoke to me. And that is unlike me. It may not be celexa, but it was my first reaction. I started feeling like this with-in a day of the first dose. I was really scared because it wasn't a feeling I had any control over. You might, if a good time comes up, as difficult child if it scares him to feel the way he felt when he threatened you, when he hit you. If he can make some connections maybe he will be able to give some warning if those feelings come back so you can put safety measures in place. Might not work, but maybe worth trying? Some medications cause problems at a higher dose than at a lower dose, so it might be the depakote increase. For me effexor was ok at a low dose, and then they increased it an it was horrible. Some medications are just like that for some people. So if you think it is the depakote, maybe the doctor can add a different medication. Would an antipsychotic like risperdal or seroquel help? I know risperdal helped with the cutting for my difficult child. Trileptal not so much, and we never tried seroquel (nobody suggested it, not because I had anything against it, it just never came up). Anyway, I hope you had a good Christmas and that things are getting better. [/QUOTE]
