[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 230976, member: 2423"] Jen jogged my memory. The pain could have been "brain zaps," a common side effect of SSRI withdrawal. Definitely ask the doctor, but if the pain is subsiding as the medication is leaving his body, then I suspect it does have to do with discontinuing Prozac. Just a suggestion: Instead of telling your difficult child you aren't going to deal with tantrums, it might be more helpful to phrase it with a positive spin. For example, you could tell him the therapist can work with him to find better ways to work through his frustration. You should also be aware that anxious kids are generally very concerned about appearing less than perfect to people whose approval they want, such as teachers and tdocs. They also tend to be slow workers because of perfectionistic tendencies. My daughter M, who has severe anxiety, exhibits both of these characteristics. [/QUOTE]
