Guest guest Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I've just had brain wave (in the middle of me stuggling to manage my anxiety and depression lately). I think I might be becoming accustomed to my dose of anti-depressant (as can happen with time). I had a theory that my meds were keeping me extremely food sensitive (to chemicals I used to tolerate in higher doses before I got depressed years ago). But every time I tried to wean, everything was worse - gut cramps up etc I think now it's a sign my anxiety and depression aren't under control when I am more food sensitive (plus all the other symptoms - tired,not coping well etc). Might need to tweak dose. Off to doctor this afternoon. I also read somewhere that rage disorder can be related to low serotonin, just like depression is. I am reluctant to try my son on an anti-depressant, knowing what incredibly powerful drugs they are and my son's brain is still developing. Has anyone had long-term success with a dose of anti-depressant on a child prone to rage episodes and anxiety etc? The rage and depression is related for us, because the food chemicals that give me depression make him fly into rage. He has an EEG (food provoked by additives) because some chemically-triggered rage episodes are like seizures Miranda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
