[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 59228, member: 1498"] My son took Celexa. For about three weeks it was a miracle drug. I didn't know that the sudden improvement was antidepressant induced hypomania. Around three weeks he started to slide a bit, so the doctor upped the dose. Still seemed like he was better. By three months his behavior was deteriorating but there was little publicity at that time of the psychiatric side effects of ADs. He stayed on the 20 mg dose of Celexa until it slowly made him psychotic and I finally reached out on the internet and learned (after one post, thankyouverymuch Midwest Mom) that the half dose of Celexa was quite likely the cause of my son's worsening condition. Turns out that even back then the prescribing information listed hostilty and aggression as side effects. Remember that ADs can cause [i]mood swings[/i] including worsening depression, not just hypomania/mania. [/QUOTE]
