[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 392451, member: 1550"] My teenage daughter hated Celexa. Said it made her nervous, hyper and impulsive. I would listen to your son. He knows how the medications make him feel. Doctors aren't always right. I personally will not take more medications than I can handle without feeling at the mercy of the drug or like a zombie. Either is no fun. Celexa and any antidepressant can cause our k ids to get worse, not better. It's up to you, but I would trust him, wean off the Celexa, and let him try Risperdal alone. There is no medication combination on the face of the earth that will wipe out all of his problems anyway unless he is so drugged up he can't think. So, with my own experience taking psychiatric medications, I would listen and believe him. He's not refusing to take all medications. He is refusing one that he feels is making him behave badly. And he could very well be right. The only way you'll know is by trying him off of it. [/QUOTE]
