[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 57888, member: 1550"] I gave my son one dose of 10 mgs. Prozac and he was so off-the-wall, we wonder if he had a psychotic reaction. We had never had a call from school before, but he was jumping off his desk and saying he thinks he can fly, laughing, very manicky. I never gave him another pill and it has never happened again. Zoloft made me pretty hyper and nervous right away as well and in two weeks I was unable to sit still (akathesia). It can happen right away if the child is not going to react well to the medications or it can take a few months to either kick in or make things worse. Like everything else, it all depends on the person. by the way, I can take Paxil and it really helps, but both Prozac and Zoloft made me even more hyper. I was told it takes a good six weeks for any good effects, and that also happened to me. I was ready to throw out the Paxil when suddenly it just really kicked in (two months later) and it's been a miracle medication for me ever since. AD's are not quick fixes--they take time. But if you see anything negative, report it right away. Often if it isn't going to work, the side effects (hyperness, aggression, crying etc.) only get worse as it builds in the system and you should always tell the doctor. I've never experienced BAD side effects that went away. I always needed to discontinue and try something else. Wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
