Yes, my son gets aggressive and cries easily and has total meltdowns when the

SSRI is not the right one or the right dose. Paxil and Celexa were nightmares

for us. We've had the best luck with Zoloft, at 50 mg. (He's almost 11 and 95

pounds.) But he'll even regress when the Zoloft is increased.

Aggressive crying b/c of increasing SSRI's

Has anyone seen aggressive, crying behavior when increasing an SSRI?

We increased my grandson's Celexa b/c of sleep, which this has helped with,

but he goes from raging aggressive behavior to crying spells that last for an

hour or more? We started this 5 days ago and do not want to continue with this

dose since he is just miserable. I think a different SSRI at the same equivalent

dose my help with his sleep and not cause the negative behavioral side

effects???? We have tried Paxil which also caused aggressive, teary behavior,

has anyone tried any others with success?

Thanks,

Carole

YES! My daughter did horrible. Her social skills got better but she was a

terror. It is because there were still immune issues we needed to work out.

That was in December and she still isn't on any SSRI. Now I understand why the

brain shuts down blood flow during immune flare ups. My daughter needed other

interventions first.
