Hello All,

My son,10, has been on zoloft for 25 days with no gain & minor negatives, a

little restless & takes a long time to fall asleep. We started with 1/4tab, then

increased to 1/2tab(25mg) 12 days ago. Dr.G. suggested we switch to celexa today

but we are wondering if we're too quick to change from zoloft. The negatives are

manageable at this point, it's just that we're not sure if we wait a little

longer will we start to see some changes??? I wanted to ask if people waited

longer than a month on any SSRI before they saw any gains?? Appreciate any feed

back! thank you & God bless!

Same here. You probably should be seeing gains and the negatives should have

gone away by now if they were going to. Celexa was good for two of my boys and

not so good for the third. Zoloft wasn't good for the two who do well on Celexa

but seems to working for the third. Go figure!

 

All the best,

Thank you guys for your respond! we'll start the celexa tomorrow!

 

Robyn, do you remember how quickly you saw results on your 2 boys when you

started the celexa? and did you have to wait until you were at the highest doze

to see any gains? thanks for your help!

God bless

It was rough for the first week with Noah, but after that, we was calmer and had

fewer outbursts. He's on a combination of very low doses of three SSRIs right

now, and the combo really works for him. We saw great gains when we increased

Wellbutrin a little bit and started Effexor. With Effexor we saw an increase in

verbal communication, which is huge for him.

 

All the best,

 

Robyn
