[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 382002, member: 3444"] As you can see, there are many different causes of a symptom, and just as many different medications you can use to treat it. This level of complexity is really best handled by someone with the training specific to mental health. My difficult child 1 has ADHD and a lot of anxiety. He did o.k. on some of the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) medications like Lexapro/Celexa for a while, but once puberty hit he changed and they disinhibited him and made him more aggressive. He's now on Remeron, which is a different type of antidepressant (tetracyclic) and works on different neurotransmitters. So far, it seems to be helping, though he still has issues. We've been dealing with this since he was 5, and he's now 16... so you can see it's an ongoing process with a lot of fine-tuning along the way. Hopefully when he's done growing things will settle down! But hang in there, you will eventually find what works for your kiddo. Just keep asking questions until you are satisfied with what you've learned or the outcome for your child. [/QUOTE]
