[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 392436, member: 8831"] i would listen very carefully to what he is saying. why does he think its the celexa? does he feel "differently" or "worse" or whatever on it? have you been charting his moods/behaviors since starting the celexa? what changes, good or bad, have you seen--do you think its helping the situation? certainly, it may just be a subborn kid who "knows" [I]everything.[/I] but in my humble opinion, kids often have pretty good reasons for voicing an opinion like that. he's not saying he's done with medications, which is different--he's saying the celexa is somehow adversely affecting him (even if it is a distorted perception, it can only help the situation to take his concerns seriously). i'd give him the royal inquisition as to why, other than taking 1 pill, he thinks celexa is a problem, and how exactly *HE* thinks it makes him feel and go from there. and of course, discussing all of it with both the psychiatrist and therapist are worthwhile, too.
