[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 59166, member: 1550"] Celexa can cause this kind of problem, and it takes weeks before it builds up in the system. I've taken a slew of antidepressants and most of them had really agitating side effects, at least for me. Only one really helped. If my kid had any sort of mood problem, I'd hold off on trying any stimulating medication. I have a mood problem myself--stims made me high, then very depressed when the high wore off. The wrong antidepressants landed me in the hospital. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell what medications will work and won't work, but if you see your child regressing, I'd definitely suspect the medications rather than looking for another reason. These medications are potent and kids and small adults, in particular, have to be careful when taking them (I am a tiny adult). Call your psychiatrist. I would worry about mania if the child is getting more wound up and angry. The funny feeling, if it is an insatiable restlessness, could be impending akathesia. I can't even describe how icky that feels--it's horrible. I had that from Zoloft and I couldn't sit down. I had to eat Valium until the drug wore out of my system. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
