Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 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. Gaylen In a message dated 12/6/2010 8:29:06 P.M. Central Standard Time, rhondamasengale@... writes: Thanks .

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 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.
