Ben was doing okay on 1 mg. risperdal, 25 mg. topamax (p.m.) and 2 weeks ago we started celexa---just 5 mg./day. He had been on lexapro (only 2.5 mg./day!) , doing great, before the topamax, but he got manic after about 2 months (he is autistic and bipolar). Anyways, he was/is doing okay but he got a rash from the celexa! Does anyone have any ideas about what other antidepressants are similar to celexa that we can talk to the doc about in a few days? He actually was doing better, I thought, on lexapro, ....didn't seem to be quite as sedating as celexa (am I right, or is it because of the topamax?) but I am sure the doc won't want to try it cuz of the reaction to celexa. anyone?
thanks,
elise
