[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 697344, member: 20051"] Robert, Is his school nearby so that he can follow up with this doctor or can you find him a doctor near the campus or can he follow up with campus health services? The thing with anti depressants is that you don't see effect for 14-21 days and in that time dosages need to be adjusted. Psychiatric medications are an inexact science. In that a medication that works for you may not work for me, or an adequate dose for me may be too low for you. Finding the right medication/dosage/combination can be a process that takes time and patience. Many young people give up because they don't have immediate effects. Antidepressants don't work like that. Substance abusers, especially, are used to immediate gratification. Your son needs to be aware that this will be a process. [/QUOTE]
