Med Increase

[Guest guest]

Hi - my 13 yr old son's dr wants to increase his 50 mg of Celexa to 60

mg but he is reluctant as he thinks it will be a lot of medicine (he

takes the liquid form so it does look like quite a bit). I'm also a

little concerned about the high dosage and just wondering if anyone

else has a child that takes this dose of Celexa? He's been on Celexa

for about 2 months (starting at 10 mg working up to the 50 for the

past 3 weeks). We've seen a change and the thoughts have slowed down

some allowing him to see some success in working on his CBT and

challenging and stopping some arranging & counting rituals, but his

contamination fears are still a bit high.

Thanks,

Laurie
