[QUOTE="jcox, post: 230148, member: 6583"] Hi, and welcome. What a sad story! I am convinced he is hallucinating. This is a very sick child. Unfortunately, gaining weight may be a moot point. He will probably need antipsychotics and they do cause weight gain. As do mood stabilizers. Again, is there any schizophrenia, bipolar or even schizoaffective disorder in the family tree? [COLOR=red]I am not sure about his biological sperm donor or what ever you wish to call him. My hubby has been his dad since he was three weeks old. I had a relationship with a guy while my hubby and I were divorced. He raped me, was very violent, abusive physically, verbally, emotionally, stalked me, was very controlling etc. He obviously had some issues that were undiagnosed.[/COLOR] The poor kid melts my heart. I really don't think he can help what he does. I personally feel it is a bad idea to put a child who may be hallucinating on any antidepressants or stimulants (not sure what Vistorol is). That Celexa would make me nervous. Are you sure he has bipolar? [COLOR=red]I have read that Celexa is not a good medication for people with bipolar to be on. Am I sure that he is bipolar? No I am not. I am not a doctor I am just going by what he has been diagnosed with. From what I read about children with bipolar he seems to fit the profile.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
