> I have a 10 year old daughter, recently diagnosed with ADD &ODD and depression. Been on a few anti-depression meds...but lost too much weight...now on Celexa. I have heard about withdrawals (extreme) and am worried if they switch meds again I am just making the problem worse. She is out of control behavior wise...at least with me and everywheres we go...but at her Psych. and Couselors...she behaves. So I guess she has some sense of control.I just can help wonder wheres the line of lack of discipline and ADD ODD and depression???? All these different routes to try to help her...dont want to make it worse. She doesnt sleep///she doesnt control herself...she cant seem to think straight and she laughs in my face...its getting worse and now I have to wait 4+ weks for any results?? God help us!
> any sugegstions/advice would be appreciated!!!!Have you tried Wellbutrin. My daughter has ADHD etc. and is often very very angry. It calmed her down and evened her out. I had to take her off it because she was diagnosed with MONO shortly after she started it...but if you haven't tried it ask your psychiatrist if it might work...
