Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Elspeth, I think it would probably be a good idea to e-mail the office (and then maybe call to follow up) before making a change... I didn't follow Dr. G's directions once and he was not shy about letting me know how he felt... I hope you can avoid going through that! It was nooooooooot very pleasant! He is fighting for our kids and sometimes that means he will even debate us if he feels it is in their best interest. He has reasons for things that surprise me even after having one of my kids with him for 4.5 years. Sometimes he looks in unexpected places to understand why they are struggling. Such as... last round of labs he tested my son for Parvovirus (Fifths Disease) which came back positive. That was a virus I'd never heard of his looking at before. I'm not sure what he can do to help those high antibodies, but anyway, as you can see he sometimes has new ideas up his sleeve that might take things in new directions. Anyway, just my two cents. Hang in there! Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 My son got hyper on Zoloft. Celexa made him hyper and aggressive. Any increases we've done very, very slowly as I've been told it can cause a 'jolt' to the brain. After we took my son off the Celexa, he had one pill left so I took it, just to see how he might have felt. Egads!!! I felt HORRIBLE. My heart RACED for over 2 hours and I got downright depressed (morbid thoughts - ick!). It was absolutely terrible. I later learned that I had probably 'jolted' my system and that's why I felt so awful. I also learned that I most likely don't need SSRIs ;-) Kristy Question about Zoloft Hi everyone My son has been on Valtrex, Nizoral and Zoloft (Dr G doubled the Zoloft about three weeks ago as we seemed to be doing ok). He has lately been very lethargic and has just started to hit himself and say some pretty agressive things. Could this be the Zoloft at work? Should I cut it right down pending hearing back from Dr G? I'd be very glad of advice. Thanks so much, Elspeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Kristy As far as you taking that Celexa, I am glad you are OK. I applaud you for being brave and putting yourself in your son's shoes. OK I know it is not recommended to take something without your docs advice, but I still applaud you > > My son got hyper on Zoloft. Celexa made him hyper and aggressive.
