Rhonda,

If we had the hyperactivity and did not see all the language gains , I'd stop

Let us know he's better!

His scripting has never been this BAD! Is this normal and do we push through or

do we need to switch ssri's? I am very new to this and am unsure whether to

continue with the ssri.

My son had some huge side effects from two of the SSRIs but did beautifully

on others. Hang in with the protocol but strongly ask the doc to try a

different SSRI.

In my opinion, aggression is one of those side effects that I won't wait the 10

to 14 days adjustment period. I would switch.

His scripting has never been this BAD! Is this normal and do we push through or
