[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 60671, member: 2423"] First, I don't think you can make the assumption that it's the Celexa causing the problems, particularly if some of the medications were started at the same time. Tenex, for example, can cause irritability. The psychiatrist should be in the best position to judge what about the medication mix is not working. Second, I personally would not recommend a major medication change during a vacation. When we weaned A from an antidepressant, she suffered from withdrawal illness that was so severe she was lying on the couch for two weeks. It would have been terrible to have been on vacation with her at that time. We typically make medication changes only at home when we have access to our psychiatrist if necessary. You should definitely let the psychiatrist know of your vacation plans and let him weigh in on when any medication changes should take place. Not an easy situation to be in. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
