Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 My 11 year old son has been on zoloft for one month now it releived the ocd symptoms but tonight he told me he had suicidal thoughts last night before he went to bed that he felt like everyones life would be easier without him and he said he had those thoughts again tonight. I called the pharmacist and they said that yes that is a side effect but call the doctor called the psychiatrist and she wanted to put him in hospital i said no he is acting fine seriously he is not going to do anything she then said that if he is having these thoughts that he may also have depression becaus eonly kids that take zoloft for ocd that get these thoughts have depression with it I said I dont think so I know hes acting fine just had the intrusive disturbing thought and assured me he wouyld never do it I then called the pharmacist and she said that NO it doesnt mean that he has another disorder case studies show its just the meds so I called his psycologist and she hasnt gotten back to me yet any advice on this I cant take him off it cold turkey have to cut pill in half for like 3 days or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
