[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 311084, member: 3444"] No, he has not been on the Elavil alone. Many years ago, he was on imipramine by itself (although WITH a stimulant) for enuresis, and it seemed to have a very positive effect on his mood. I wonder if it would be better to switch to just a tricyclic for him. I also take a tricyclic as SSRI's have not typically addressed my anxiety very well. Thank you both, RLS & SW for the feedback. I think we do need to watch him closely for evolving mood issues, and it's possible a tricyclic would be a better fit for him. When the psychiatrist calls back, I will address these specifically with him. And in the mean time, I think I won't be giving him the Elavil anymore with the Celexa. He is just SO horrible when he's like this. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a bipolar rage he goes into when he's on this. We can always wean him off the Celexa and back onto the Elavil or something similar. But the combination of the two is just asking for trouble. And I can live with a few more weeks of skin picking. I can't live with him becoming violent and destructive. [/QUOTE]
