[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 160127, member: 2322"] I would be incredibly reluctant to try any other SSRI, if indeed the SSRI is causing the disinhibtion you are seeing. I would want to begin titrating down immediately, though you shouldn't do that without psychiatrist's ok. If it were my kid, I would do it anyway, but that is just me. Smallworld's advice to seek out a highly qualified psychiatrist is a good one. I'd make sure it is one with lots of experience prescribing mood stabilizers and ant-psychotics. my oldest (who had a bad reaction to both Prozac and Lexapro), has high anxiety and depression. For him the combo of Lamictal which really helps with the depression and Risperdal seems to have reduced his anziety. Also we are able to use only a real low dose of Adderall. We had to more than double his dose of Adderall to maintain while he was on Prozac, which didn't help his anxiety. it was bad all the way around. You may find if you d/c the SSRI that you are able to lower his dose of Concerta a bit which might help also with anxiety. Zoloft does seem to help my youngest a bit with his obsessive looping about things, but after my oldest's experience with SSRI I refused to try it until we had tried everything else. It is helping, but even so I am reluctant to raise the dose. So I am not anti SSRIs, but I am really really gun shy about them. [/QUOTE]
