[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 33234, member: 1722"] I don't know if I would panic, but my son would be getting an evaluation asap due to his being on an AD and possible suicidal ideation. I would take no risks with this. Here's some info on Vivactil: [url="http://www.drugs.com/cdi/vivactil.html"]http://www.drugs.com/cdi/vivactil.html[/url] Specifically: The risk of suicidal thinking and behavior was increased by antidepressant use in short-term studies in children and adolescents with certain psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of Vivactil or any other antidepressant in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Patients who are started on Vivactil should be watched closely for worsening of symptoms, suicidal thoughts and behavior, or unusual behavior changes. Families and caregivers should be aware of the need for close observation of the patient and communication with the doctor. Results from several studies in children and adolescents with certain psychiatric disorders have shown a greater risk of side effects related to suicidal thinking and behavior during the first few months of treatment with antidepressants [/QUOTE]
