Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 My son would have fits of rage when he was coming off of the Celexa last June. It took him about 6 months to finally stablize. He is usually a pretty mellow kid, so it was weird to experience. So for him it was a matter of going off of the meds, rather than going on. BJ > > > In a message dated 3/29/2007 8:05:18 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I don't know if this would help your daughter, but my 7 yr old daughter was also so moody and had tons of meltdowns and rages. Her psychologist suggested it very well could be drops in blood sugar and to make sure she ate a healthy snack every 2 hours or so. I thought " no way will this work " because I thought she normally didn't go much more than that without eating, but I was very conscientious of the 2 hr time frame -- tried it and It made an amazing difference in her moods. We always keep things like crackers, string cheese, bananas, pretzles, etc with us, especially when we are out and then I make sure she drinks lots of water, too. Good luck! svdbyhislove <BJClosner@...> wrote: My son would have fits of rage when he was coming off of the Celexa last June. It took him about 6 months to finally stablize.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Lise, My son's therapist mentioned that depression often manifests as rage/anger in children. Do you think she could be depressed?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Maybe its just hormones kicking in? In adults rage & mood swings are often signals of bipolar disorder (I had them before my medication). But I don't know about that in kids.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Raging in bipolar kids is a symptom. General crabbiness and snottiness is a sign of puberty :-) imogeneyassi@... wrote: Maybe its just hormones kicking in?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yes, My dd(10) has bipolar and ocd, and has mood swings and rages. Combine it with hormones, and you have a huge handful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 We bought my son a big punching/kicking bag and put it in his room. (It sits on a base filled with sand.) Now when he starts getting angry, we tell him to go punch his punching bag. It really works for him. Tamara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
