Just wanted to add to this.
My son is 13 diagnosed ocd, bipolar and adhd, been on meds since 10.
he is on about 5 meds.
and has tried just about everything from adderall, zyprexa, risperdal,celexa, paxil,topamax,depakote,trileptal,concerta, neurontin etc etc.He never had problems while on paxil. I am not sure he was on celexa long enough for it to even matter, but he had no problem there either.
he is currently on an ssri, but he is on zoloft 200mg, which i guess is considered safest, but this is for his OCD. he also in combination with these takes 20mg of abilify, amantadine, (which I guess is under stand currently for countering zyprexa weight gain effects and also helps with some of the side effects from his other meds abilify in particular) He gained about 50 lbs on zyprexa in about 6 months he has lost about 25 of that and grew too so he is slimmin down alot. he also takes straterra and lithium. lots of meds for a youngsta of 13, but he does horribly without them. I havent had any problems as of yet and he has been on meds approx 3 years.
Just wanted to give my input here.
