My 14 year old son

Hello,
I have a 14 year old son that was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6. He has been on Ritalin, Cylert, Prozac, Zoloft,Inipramine,
Welbutrin,Epival,and I can't remember what others. These have all been tried over the years. Ritalin had the most efect other than it has reallly stunted his growth and after a period of time it would not work at all even with the dosage being increased.
He has been getting in trouble quite abit lately, was off the Ritalin over the summer, grew 2 inches and refused to go back on Ritalin as he said he really felt horrible on them.
His family doctor has just put him on Celexa and I wondered if there is any documenation that shows any affectiveness with children with ADHD with oppositional behavior.
I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on this subject.
Sincerely
Sandy

Do you have a suggestion on what site I can find out answers to the use of Celexa in children with behavior problems?
