Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 > these behaviors have been happening for over 2 wks? and not decreasinng and/or increasing? You may want to contact Dr G's office and let them know. We had some odd reactions with Paxil, noteably hyperactivity. After 2 wks, we called the office and he was switched to another ssri which did the same thing. 3-4 wks later, he was switched to celexa. A perfect fit ) you may need to try a few ssris before you find the right one. If researchers follow Dr G's lead on SSRIs, we may be able to find out why one works with one child and another works with another child. Could be that the meds are 'annoying' a virus ... hence the sensitivity issues. (ie like when you have the flu/cold, you're more sensitive to light and sound) 's sensitivities to light and sound disappeared about 6 mths after starting the protocol .... I can't remember if we had started the ssri or not at that point ... doris -land > > > Message: 2 > Date: Sun, 06 Jan 2002 23:40:29 -0000 > From: " debbie_warwick " <debwarwick@...> > Subject: Lamisil and Paxil > > My son recently started taking Lamisil on 11/18 and then Paxil (1/4 > of a 10mg tablet in the morning) 45 lbs, 4.7 yrs old on 12/28/01. > > My husband and I have noticed some changes in him (not for the > better) and was wondering if any of you have seen these behaviors > come up.
