This is something that we are going through right now. difficult child was prescribed Celexa for anxiety, with the idea that if we could get the anxiety under control the tantrums and screaming rages that he has would cease. That has not happened. I talked to the psychiatrist the other day and told him that I thought it was time to try something else because this is just not working. So, even though it's a few weeks before Christmas, we are weaning him off the Celexa and will start the Risperdal. Am I worried about starting something new? You bet I am! But we need to find a medication that works for difficult child because we have very little peace in out house and it's not fair to anyone, including difficult child, and if we need to do it over a school vacation, then that is when we will have to do it.
Good luck with the medications. Let us know how it is going.
