[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 68117, member: 1991"] My kids are on stims. All but easy child. difficult child 1 has been on Zoloft as well as dex, since he was 15. he's now 23. Several times recently we've cut him back on his Zoloft. The doctor first increased his Zoloft when he was 16 andsplit with his then girlfriend - very upsetting for him. Then we cut him back 2 years later (it took him that long to cope). Then the doctor said, "Do you need it any more? Let's cut it back further, cutting down quarter of a tablet at a time, for several months." difficult child 1 was fine until he got to half a tablet. Then his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms suddenly got worse. We put up with it until he next appointment and the doctor immediately said, "Go back to one whole tablet a day." He's still taking his dex - 25 mg a day. difficult child 3 has also been put on antidepressants but gets weird reactions within a day or so, so we don't go there any more. I also get weird reactions to them so it could be familial. I also get over-sensitive reactions to pot (an idiot at work gave me a hash brownie without telling me what it was - I was a mess for days). Pot seems to use similar pathways, so I thought it could be connected to my problems with ADs. You know - if a trace of pot makes me really high when it doesn't touch anyone else, that could be why tofranil does too. I would be either more depressed, sedated or insomniac with racing, uncontrolled thoughts. No thanks. Hope that helps. Marg [/QUOTE]
