[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 59172, member: 2894"] A fear of mine. When starting the Celexa, I tried to put this fear far away in a back drawer and be cautiously optimistic. And here's where I try to draw on other's experiences with medications...compared to when he started the Celexa, YES...he's getting more wound up and angry as each day goes by. But compared to how he was BEFORE the Celexa, we still haven't reached that point yet. So here is where I struggle. I guess we've put up with so much between the years of hearing "you're doing everything we'd tell you to do" and the daily rages, that now is such an improvement, even if it isn't perfect. So, how perfect can you ever expect or demand or try to make it be? My impression of our psychiatrist is that when I tell him of M's increasing irritability, anger, and I don't know how else to explain it other than "wound-up-ness" (it's not hyper...it's that exaggerated, fake laughter, the inappropraitely loud talking...just wound up!)...that he'll do some sort of medication change...be it swap something out/in, do an increase/decrease...and I guess I'm just scared to change something. Life hasn't flipped upsidedown yet...maybe I'm hoping it won't...maybe I'm hoping this is as bad as it will get...Ugh. Thanks for listening. [/QUOTE]
