[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 392517"] Thank you all for your input. The problem that I am having is that I don't know if difficult child is telling me that the medications make him behave worse because he really feels that way, or if he is simply repeating what he heard husband say after one of difficult child's particulary bad tantrums. difficult child can tell a really good tale when he needs to to, so half the time I'm not sure what's true and what's bs. Even the psychiatrist isn't sure what to believe from him! He's been on the Celexa since the end of August. Do I see an improvement in behavior? Really, not enough that it would make me say that he absolutely HAS to stay on it. The psychiatrist wants him on it and was not happy that we asked for the dosage to be reduced. husband felt that difficult child's tantrum were worse on the higher dose so we reduced it. Maybe I'll call the psychiatrist and see what he says about stopping the Celexa and trying just the Risperdal. When we started with medications what we were hoping for was that Celexa would take care of difficult child's anxiety, which would then stop the tantrums and screaming rages. It has not happened, so he decided to add the Risperdal. I have no doubt that difficult child suffers from anxiety that can be, at times, crushing, but I'm starting to wonder if that is the main issue here. Pam [/QUOTE]
