Slowly watching the irritability increase...

So, M has been on Celexa for about 6 weeks total (4 wks at 20 mg's) and 4 1/2 weeks on the Tenex. I'm slowly seeing his level of tolerance decrease...he's becoming more irritable and I'm starting to see a return to the less stable M that we knew before the meds. We're not *at that point* yet, but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Last night apparently he just flicked a switch in his head and decided to be a pain for dh while I was a work and then refused to take a shower or bath. By the time I got home, he was a whiney mess. Right before bed he was complaining about a itch/spot on his finger that if he pressed on it or itched it it made a spot on his wrist "feel funny" and he was rolling all over the couch and kicking his legs and throwing a nice little fit. After several attempts at remedying the situation, I finally convinced him to go to bed.

I don't know how to sort out whether this is solely in reaction to the fact that he started the Summer Program at school or if it's also the med's not working enough or what. M has a pdoc appt in a week and then his first tdoc appt at the end of next month.
