Hi Barb. Before your son was on different meds, for bipolar, am I

remembering that right? I haven't actually done any research on this, so it is

just

something I am wondering about. If a teen isn't really bipolar, but put on meds

for bipolar, would there still be positive differences or could it

potentially make them worse? My bipolar dd clearly has positive results when she

is

cycling and we adjust meds. They will stop her cycling. In your son's case

where

the diagnosis wasn't certain, could the meds cause him to get worse? That

sure wasn't very clear! Well, anyway, I am so glad he is doing well right now

and hope it continues. Kim

Hi BJ,

Know what you mean about waiting for that other shoe to drop, goes

with the ocd territory doesn't it? We really can't believe the

change in our son, and keep waiting for things to shift back. After

begging to have medications reduced or removed for months, finally

his just going off on his own seems to have brought us some clarity.

As always time will tell, but it's almost not to be believed.

Yesterday he was polite, kind, friendly, interested in others, in

short the kid we used to know before ocd, and esp before drugs; and

he was NOT reactive, angry, or weird(for lack of a better

descriptive)descriptive)<WBR>, all the stuff we just got used to de

day, just gone.

So I go back to my original thought, aliens came in the night and

switched our son!!! I'll keep this one though. There is no

explanation for this. You would not think that 5mg of celexa could

affect this change and we've changed nothing else. It's a mystery,

but one we'll embrace.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, back at you! Hope you are

taking care of you!

Hugs!

Barb
