[QUOTE="ML, post: 162295"] d's had evaluations at the Autism clinic and at the pediatric psychiatrist. Initially he was diagnosis with anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), social and separation) and ADHD. He also has Sensory Integration stuff and some signs of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), especially with food textures. Though he never met a sugar product he didn't like. Tried prozac, immediate increase in bad attitude and aggression. Then we tried Celexa and it was pretty good for about 6-8 months. His meltdowns decreased and his anxiety was better. Then, his power eating became a concern as his weight ballooned up. I saw him self medicate with food. The psychiatrist said to try increasning the Celexa to 15 mg from 10 and I saw increased ODD and more oversensitivity over-reactiveness. More emotionally fragile, more hyper. Some of the wise folks here mentioned the possiblity of hypomania and I think they were right. My gut tells me that an AD isn't the answer, at least not by itself. His moods and hyperactivity and ADHDness are the biggest issues right now. I am thinking of asking the psychiatrist to please let us try trileptal and then go from there. Thanks for letting me talk about this stuff over and over again. You are all so patient. [/QUOTE]
