[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 194083, member: 2423"] My son can't take SSRIs either, and he may very well have BiPolar (BP) (that's his working diagnosis at this time). At age 11, he took 5 mg Prozac, and within a couple of hours, had a rage reaction that resulted in a broken window. It can happen, although it's hard to convince the doctors (our psychiatrist didn't believe it was the Prozac until we had tried other SSRIs with similar results). Sometimes kids who have anxiety do better on tricyclic antidepressants (Amitriptyline, Nortriptyline, etc) or Remeron. It might be something to ask the psychiatrist about. You also need to ask the psychiatrist about getting her sleep under control. That should be the first order of business because lack of sleep can be disregulating in and of itself. [/QUOTE]
