[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 64551, member: 2894"] Thanks for your thoughts and advice, ladies. I called the psychiatrist, as you suggested, and the receptionist said it sounds like we should bring him in tomorrow, so we have an appointment for tomorrow. I'm not convinced the Tenex is doing anything positive...I'm really not sure why he's really on it at all, really. The psychiatric hospital psychiatrist put him on it to "keep him from boiling over" during his rages because he noted that while he was raging, it looked like his blood pressure was rising and he just seemed ready to blow...at least that's what he told me. Last I heard he either had a diagnosis of ADHD or a rule out of ADHD, so that may be the true reason they put him on it since we were unsuccessful with the Aderall and the Straterra...who the heck knows. To answer your questions, MWM... 1) Did he RAGE before the Celexa? Is that your question? Yes...daily...for hours....sometimes up to 6 hours...we'd have to restrain him...it was awful. This was pre-medication and during our earliest of medication trials. It actually wasn't until the Celexa that the raging stopped. The re-emergence of the raging is recent...anger, irritability, and frustration has been slowly building over the past month+. 2) I see what you're saying. I don't want to see him rage and I don't want to have this "explosiveness" in my house. In fact, in the Parent Report and Assessement I wrote for him, in the last paragraph I wrote, "If we could remove the word 'explosive' from our vocabulary, this would be an ideal picture." LOL I just wish I had a proactive way to avoid this without outright giving him the impression that his rage "won" the battle, so to speak, Know what I mean?? I think I *may* have thought of a way, at least with the video game time...I might work, and it might not. I hope it doesn't backfire. Re-evaluation! I almost have to laugh...an evaluation is something we've been pushing for, fighting for, you name it for so long. Ever since the begining of the year I've been trying to get him in somewhere, but couldn't...and then started his psychiatric hospital revolving door of admits...with no real diagnosis's given after all of that. Now, his psychiatrist just treats him. But, he starts seeing a therapist in a couple of weeks and I *believe* they have a neuropsychologist on staff, so this might be the start of something beautiful. [/QUOTE]
