difficult child is VERY sensitive to medications, all medications, as am I. The lowest dose and we feel it right away. I explained this to the psychiatrist and he said it was impossible to notice any change after only two days of missing Prozac. difficult child told him that if she misses two days of her Prozac, she notices it, as do I. He said that was impossible. I then piped up and said I have the same reaction to medications, very very sensitive and the lowest dose usually is adequate or near adequate...which explains why I am still only taking 20mg of Prozac and difficult child is only on 40mg. I just get the feeling that this psychiatrist would be hung ho about changing her medications and putting her on a so called therapeutic dose, which may end up being too much for her.
Since difficult child is finally at a point where she is willing, truly wanting, to address these issues, I would hate to sabotage her efforts by over medicating her, Know what I mean?? For example, when she was on celexa, she only took 10 mg; risperdal? It was half of a .25mg tablet. Xanax? It's .50mg at night. difficult child is very sensitive to medications, all medications. We are proceeding with caution.
Thank you all for your replies!
