[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 85965, member: 1991"] I'll have to dig back through the records. I do remember he tried Luvox and was allergic to it. He tried Zoloft and was manic. I think he's tried others too, with weird reactions. I can't take either tricyclics or SSRIs, I get either manic or sedated to zombie level, even on the tiniest dose. I also reacted to pot very badly, the one time I actually ingested some (technically, it was assault because I didn't know I was eating HASH brownies). I had an over-the-top reaction and a three day weirdness. I also used to get very ill (sick on the stomach; gastric symptoms) just be being around someone who was smoking it. When I saw difficult child 3 having similar reactions, I have wondered ever since if it's a brain chemistry thing, he and I are just incompatible. I would be interested to find out if there is any connection to antidepressants and pot, in terms of brain pathways. But I WILL ask the paediatrician at the next appointment, we need something for his anxiety. We're also investigating something for easy child 2/difficult child 2, who to date has never taken any antidepressants. difficult child 1 has no trouble with Zoloft. Marg [/QUOTE]
