[QUOTE="klmno, post: 292880, member: 3699"] I agree. If you recall, my son cannot take an SSRI- (is Celexa an SSRI?). He tried prozac without MS's and celexa with them. Anti-anxiety medications didn't seem to help although that trial was only cursory due to the risk of addiction. psychiatrist wanted to try a stimulant once difficult child was on MS's and I said no way. I can't help but think there could be something hereditery in how his body reacts to medications though and that it is separate from the BiPolar (BP) question. Neither me nor my mother is BiPolar (BP)- we both do have intermittent depression and anxiety issues. Look at how my body/mind reacted to welbutrin, and my mother has bad physical and mental reactions to all kinds of medications- even OTC medications. psychiatrist said difficult child had one of the highest sensitivity to medications he'd ever seen so I became more and more concerned about basing any diagnosis of difficult child on medication reactions. Plus, it seems so easy to get pulled into more and more add-ons to compensate for side effects of another medication. It's just such a delicate balance. [/QUOTE]
