[QUOTE="Star*, post: 417344, member: 4964"] Hi and welcome - I can't tell you anyone's experiences other than mine and my sons. I'm also not trying to alarm you at all, but Zoloft made myself and my son suicidal. It has been known in some children to make them increasingly depressed and aggressive. With myself it didn't make me aggressive, it just made me have the idealology of suicide (I enjoyed planning out my suicide) but knew better than to carry it out. With my son -he tried twice to hang himself. Once at age 10, and again at age 16 when another psychiatrist put him on it without my knowledge when he was incarcerated at Department of Juvenile Justice. I would do a little research and reading about Zoloft and have a talk with your psychiatrist about this. Ask him if he feels a change in his AD's would be beneficial. Do know this however - the medicines while helpful do NOT change the person, they're more like a bandaid or a support to help your child cope, so a lot of the aggressive behavior IS your son coming to the surface. What will help the most is therapy, long and continued therapy with the right therapist. If this therapist doesn't feel he's a good match? Ask him to refer you to another that may be a better match.
