Guest guest Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 We have used both prozac and zoloft. Prozac mad e him suicidal and impulsive and zoloft just impulsive and over aggressive- fighting, swearing, stealing etc at doses over 50 mg. WE had to endure it for a couple years but then have been able to drop his dose in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi! My daughter began her treatment with Zoloft. We didn't notice much help with the OCD and when we hit 100mg, she got aggressive. The least little thing would set her off and she actually took a swing at me one day! She is normally a completely passive person. We backed her down to 75 and the aggressiveness disappeared. But we eventually switched to Lexapro, which has maintained some semblance of normal life for her and us. Debbie > > My daughter was on Prozac for 3 1/2 months and had to be stopped because she was starting to cry alot and had more bizarre behavior and talked about cutting herself. She then started on Zoloft a week later. She still has anxieties but again is starting with bizarre behavior. I have read people having success with Zoloft but has anyone had problems with bizarre behavior or other negative effects. Thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for input we are torn between just taking her off the Zoloft and see what happens with our new therapist or to keep increasing the dose as I've read people having success with higher doses. My husband feels the Zoloft increases her " weirdness " but I'm not sure if it's just OCD changing. She's on 50mg now. For example she went from " normal " OCD worries such as whether I'd forget her at school or some kid touched me is it all over me to this obsession with living without technology and wanting to live in rainforest. she will sit outside barefoot by the trees for hours, won't use computer, microwave, telephone, open the fridge, just nutty behavior. We're just not sure if that's meds or OCD. THANKS > > We have used both prozac and zoloft.
