[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 337913, member: 2423"] Hope, with all due respect to your daughter's experience, there is a difference between SSRI activation and SSRI withdrawal effects. My own children have experienced SSRI activation, which means that the SSRI antidepressant is actually [I]causing [/I]aggression, rage, irritability, depression, suicidual ideation, etc, and it is necessary to discontinue the SSRI. In my daughter A's case, we needed to discontinue Paxil quickly because she was having psychotic episodes, and she experienced SSRI withdrawal, which left her with flu-like symptoms including headache, nausea, diarrhea and dizziness for two weeks. Once the Paxil left her symstem, she was physically fine, but we still needed to stabilize her mood because the underlying mental illness still needed to be treated. In the case of kjs's son, there is no way we as parents reading a message board can possibly judge how her son is being affected by Zoloft. It is truly up to the psychiatrist who has examined him in person to determine how to diagnose and treat him. Kjs's difficult child has had years of serious anxiety and depression, which seems to have worsened recently. I hope kjs will take the advice of this psychiatrist seriously since it appears her difficult child needs treatment. [/QUOTE]
