[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 132960, member: 1550"] DONT just take her off of it! Yikes! I worry about a doctor that says you could just take her off of it. The weaning could be causing this behavior. Any medication changes along with behavioral changes is often the result of the medications. I would wean him off slowly. There is a real withdrawal syndrome with SSRIs and it's not always pretty. After that, I'd take him to another doctor. in my opinion his advice on the weaning was dangerous. I've never heard of any doctor saying you can just discontinue an SSRI. Any withdrawal of an SSRI, even a slow withdrawal can cause the child to be worse at first. I'm guessing, from experience, that the medication changes or the Prozac itself are causing him to be worse and that it isn't really related to outside events. I've withdrawn from medications myself and NOTHING was worse than the time I had to go cold turkey from an antidepressant because I had a toxic reaction to it. Nothing! I totally lost it. I'd just slowly withdraw your child, and expect him to be worse before he gets better. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
