[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 172194, member: 1498"] Invega is an antipsychotic like Risperdal and could very well cause a recurrence of the same problems. Were they tic or was it tardive dyskinesia? Cymbalta is an SSRI/SSNI antidepressant. That means it's primary action is on serotonin and norepinephrin. Wellbutrin is a somewhat unique antidepressant with weak action on serotonin, norepinephrin and dopamine. Either drug (or type of antidepressant) carries the same warning for psychiatric side effects that include hostility and impulse issues as well as the more famous suicidal ideation. Cymbalta isn't approved for use by children or adolescents; they claim it hasn't been studied. However, most of the antidepressants aren't approved for children and they [I]have[/I] been studied and found to be neither safe nor effective. by the way, these psychiatric side effects can occur after someone has taken the drug for months or even years. It could be that as his brain reaches a new stage of development, the effects of the Wellbutrin are no longer positive. The smoking -- is he being rebellious or does he like the way it makes him feel? One of the side effects of antidepressants is akathisia (severe restlessness). I understand that nicotine has a calming effect. Could he be smoking because it makes him feel more calm? [/QUOTE]
