[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 288207, member: 3444"] Oh my gosh -- I need some oxygen just to keep up with your day!!! As for Celexa, we recently switched difficult child 1 to it from Lexapro. We had lowered the Lexapro dose from 20mg to 10mg, because psychiatrist thought it might be disinhibiting difficult child 1 too much (he's been a bit much lately, and I think it's more than just typical teen stuff). But when we went to 10mg, he started picking at the skin on his arms and making scabs. So then psychiatrist said to switch to 20mg Celexa. But he's been really irritable and mouthy on this so far, and it's been a month already. I'm not sure that it's the right medication for him. I'm tempted to wean him off it completely and see if he can manage okay without it. Hope you get some insight on the Celexa for your difficult child soon. Usually I think it takes a couple of weeks to know if it's right or not. But better now than to try tinkering with things during the school year! [/QUOTE]
