[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 174199, member: 1550"] I had a psychotic reaction to imiprimine after being on it for six months. I woke up, couldn't swallow and was hallucinating. Scary. It isn't always just in the beginning. For some reason, medications store up in my system and suddenly erupt with a later reaction. I think the medications could be the problem too. That doesn't mean they ARE, but it's always a good policy to talk to your psychiatrist about medication if a child gets even more aggressive after starting a medication. I've taken too many medications myself not to know that they are just as likely to make things worse than better. It took me until my 30's to get a regiment that didn't cause eventual problems with me AND that actually worked. It's a real hit or miss struggle. That's why the right diagnosis is so important combined with not overmedicating (I cringe when I see kids on more than three medications--that makes me think that the doctor is trying to medicate away every single symptom and you can't). It can also make one feel like a zombie. I know THIS first hand too. So, I agree with both Marg and Sara. Look at the big picture and consult with the doctor! Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
