[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 479179, member: 1550"] Hi there :) and another person with a spectrum kid who thinks you did a GREAT job and got his diagnosed early! That should help him as he is already getting help. If the Prozac has helped him that much, if he were my child I would keep him on it. As far as I know, and three of us have taken Prozac, it doesn't cause a child to stop growing. Kids do have spurts...they grow, they don't, they shoot up, they stop, etc. But it can cause excessive hunger and weight gain. That is an issue with all psychiatric medications except for stimulants, which likely will not help your son. Prozac is not as bad as some medications on the weight gain issue. It's kind of a "necessary evil" in some cases...this weight gain. Glad you joined us. Please keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
