[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 325800, member: 2423"] SSRIs like Celexa can CAUSE hallucinations. My strong recommendation is to ask the prescribing doctor to wean your son from the Celexa and to keep him on only mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics. We follow two rules that have stood us in good stead since 2005 when we started medications with our children: Start low and go slow so you can see see what effect the change is having on your child. Only make one medication change at a time so you know beyond a doubt whether it is helping or hurting. My second recommendation is not to have knee-jerk reactions to medication changes in response to your son's behavior. Chart what is going on for a while and THEN make changes. Only in extreme cases have we discontinued medications abruptly (psychosis, extreme rage reactions, etc). Hang in there and let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
