[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 193465, member: 1550"] Well, you can try. I will relay our three experiences with Prozac: Mine, my now 24 year old daughter (16 when she took it) and my son (7 when he took it). 1/Me: It helped at first, almost made me silly, maybe hypo-manicky. Then it stopped working and I got very depressed. I couldn't stay awake while on Prozac and would fall asleep at work (this is an odd reaction, but it happened to me). I had horrible nightmares and weird sleep habits. After two months, because I was so depressed on it, my medications were switched. 2/Daughter: She was one of those who pulled a knife on herself while on Prozac. She said it made her lose her inhibitions; made her uber-impulsive, and she didn't like it--made her nervous. She ended up in phospital. 3/Son--Very manic. Took one pill and we got our first and only call ever from school. Son is on autism spectrum (we didn' tknow it at the time--it was for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/ADHD which they thought he had). He kept getting on his desk and jumping off of it, saying "I can fly" and laughing. Wish I could give you better news and I'm sure it has helped a lot of people. All SSRIs can cause the same problems, however Paxil helps me a lot. I know plenty of people who can't take Paxil at all. It's hit or miss. These are just our experiences. [/QUOTE]
