Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Effexor XR works really good for the child that is dealing with hyper issues. For my oldest, it was added and quickly removed because it was very bad....crying, angry outbursts, severe migranes. But for the super hyper child, it slowed his processing down so he could think, and he wasn't running all over the place. The perfect amt for him is 75mg....we tried 112.5 and it was horrible. 37.5 was not enough, but 75mg is just right. The dr tried switching him off of it, and he immediately hyped up again. So it was quickly added back in. My hyper (mod/severe autism) child is doing 3 ssri's wellbutrin, effexor and zoloft. My CFS child is doing wellbutrin and prozac.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi - I took it myself - haven't tried it on my kids (too young I guess @ 4 & 6)... It was the only type med (SNRI instead of simply SSRI) that I've ever really tolerated for any period. It seemed to calm my hyperness. The only negatives I was aware of were decreased appetite (I had a bad habit of not eating till late) and boy if you miss a dose, you feel very squirelly. It's one that you would definitely have to taper slowly to not have side effects. Overall, it is the only SSRI-type med I'll try again for myself. --- Candi DAVIS <cdavis642@...> wrote: > We are going to start Exeffor XR ..I was wondering > for those of you who are using it or have tried it > ..what your experiences have been?
