[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 372116, member: 1872"] Hey Kristen, I haven't read your other post and I'm not sure what you mean specifically by dysinhibition, but my gfg17 got manic and irritable on Celexa. It's not uncommon at all for antidepressants to make kids (adults too) "manicky" (manic) which is likely what you mean by dysinhibited. It's not a slight possibility -- it happens a lot, that doctor is just plain wrong, good thing you had already read up about it -- nice catch! You got some good advice from Marg about why he might be cutting. My son cut too. He said that he felt numb and wanted to feel something, anything other than the numbness. If you can, try not to be shocked at the cutting -- my initial intense reaction added to the intensity my son was craving. Maybe offer to help wash and care for the cuts, ask neutrally and supportively why he is cutting, and that he can come to you to talk about those feelings when he wants to cut, and doesn't have to hide it. Watch out for any more antidepressants unless your psychiatrist can give you a real good reason. Hang in there -- you're doing a great job. Keep posting for support and info. [/QUOTE]
