Re: New and have been scared to death about the ssris by other groups...

[Guest guest]

I was also very nervous about the SSRI component and read as much research

as I could find. This was several years ago but I can share that most of the

really scary difficulties involved their use for depression or at much higher

doses than Dr. G uses. Read the studies for its use in OCD and you'll find

different outcomes.

The thing that helped me the most in being comfortable trying a SSRI was

reading about seratonin in general and the symptoms involved in seratonin

imbalance. So many of them fit my son's challenges. I am so glad we took the

plun

ge and tried one because it has made a huge, positive difference for my son.

Also, keep in mind that SSRIs do not make the body create more seratonin but

rather just keep it in the brain longer.
