[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 486475, member: 3419"] Before sending off my difficult child to a residential treatment boarding school, we want to try an antidepressant. Right now he's taking Imiprimine at night but the psychiatrist seems to view that more in terms of bedwetting issues. Don't ask me why. I was thinking that since difficult child had such a horrid reaction a few yrs back on Zoloft (or maybe it was Prozac), that something different, but still an SSRI, like Cymbalta, might be a good idea. I have thrown out the idea of Effexor on this board, but several people said it's very bad for teens. I just want to have a name or two to suggest to the dr when we see him. difficult child is sooooo moody and angry, and the therapist says he is definitely suffering from depression. Should I have him write a ltr to the psychiatrist? (P.S. difficult child is shutting down when he gets homework he doesn't want to do. He just stares at the page and his ears turn red, and then he ramps up. He's been way more disrespectful and controlling lately, too.) [/QUOTE]
