[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 395635, member: 2423"] My son does not have bipolar disorder either. But he can't tolerate any SSRI. We've discovered this over many medication trials. He reacted to 25 mg Zoloft at the 3-week mark. Unfortunately, in his case, the reaction did not settle down on its own. His psychiatrist watched him for 6 weeks and then decided he needed a mood stabilizer (Depakote) to stop the behavior the Zoloft started. It worked. One of the problems you may be facing is that the Zoloft titration may have been too fast in your son's case. We always go much slower when introducing a new medication to see if we can head off bad reactions. With Zoloft, we started at 6.25 mg for a week, then went to 12.5 mg for a week, etc. With such a quick titration, you actually don't know if your son could have tolerated a lower dose of Zoloft. I hope things settle down soon. [/QUOTE]
