[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 38188, member: 3527"] I cannot imagine a child taking Prozac. I have not had any experience with Paxil, but I did take Prozac when I was about 12 years old, and it had the REVERSE of the effect you are describing the Paxil...I was not TIRED but I ran around crazy with all this extra energy, it was almost like I was on speed! It was a bit too much for me at that point. So they decided against that and tried the Zoloft instead, which apparently is said to work wonders with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)...and it has. As well as my depression and eating disorder problems. Isn't it amazing how many different things these medications will do to someone?! I have also heard of some Docs using Amytriptylene (bad spelling, I am sure of it) which is supposed to not make you tired OR make you hyper. I think the brand name is Elavil or something, supposed to be like Prozac, Paxil, and the others. This one if taken on a daily basis is said to reduce the frequency of migraines, so I had a brief experience with it when they tried it on me for that...and it didn't work for my headaches, but I also didn't notice any changes in my energy level, so it was good on that part.
