So, M has been on Celexa for about 6 weeks total (4 wks at 20 mg's) and 4 1/2 weeks on the Tenex. I'm slowly seeing his level of tolerance decrease...he's becoming more irritable and I'm starting to see a return to the less stable M that we knew before the medications. We're not *at that point* yet, but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Last night apparently he just flicked a switch in his head and decided to be a pain for husband while I was a work and then refused to take a shower or bath. By the time I got home, he was a whiney mess. Right before bed he was complaining about a itch/spot on his finger that if he pressed on it or itched it it made a spot on his wrist "feel funny" and he was rolling all over the couch and kicking his legs and throwing a nice little fit. After several attempts at remedying the situation, I finally convinced him to go to bed. Ugh.
I don't know how to sort out whether this is solely in reaction to the fact that he started the Summer Program at school or if it's also the medication's not working enough or what.
I believe M has a psychiatrist appointment coming up next week or so, but of course, the psychiatrist doesn't even know M from a hole in the wall and he doesn't have his first therapist appointment until the end of next month. Ugh.
