[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 60715, member: 1550"] It's normal for kids who will be sensitive to antidepressants (and adults too--myself being one) for the antidepressant to kick in unusually early, but then, as the medication builds up, it can put the person over-the-top. I don't know what to tell you about withdrawal, as it isn't much fun (that's an understatement). in my opinion there are better medications for rages than antidepressants in many cases, such as mood stabilizers. My son's psychiatrist wasn't a big Tenex fan and didn't prescribe it, but did not say it causes agitation--just said it is not that effective (his words, not mine, I know nothing about Tenex). I do know first hand what antidepressants can do, and, with what I've experienced, I'd never want to put an angry kid of an ad--at least not before trying a mood stabilizer. Heck, as an ADULT I couldn't control antidepressant hyperness. It can get pretty extreme. That doesn't mean it WILL, but it seems your child is already experiencing some of that. Was your child on something else before that could have triggered 2-6 hour rages? Them's LONG rages! [/QUOTE]
