[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 174191, member: 1498"] [I] "Also, the odds are tat if there ARE any problems, they will show up fairly early in the course."[/I] They may show up but they might be subtle and not identified as adverse reactions. My son's antidepressant induced suicide attempt came after he was on the drug for over a year and while he was becoming quite psychotic. Even so, his doctor failed to identify the antidepressant as the problem. The first sign of his having an adverse reaction was that his mood changed within hours of taking the drug. Stupid doctor thought that was a good thing and failed to identify it as hypomania even after I expressed my concern because antidepressants are suppose to taken about two weeks before improvement is noticed. He did fairly well for about three months then the anger, aggression and agitation started. It was a slippery slope that took him to the depths of hell. And his doctor's response was to increase the antidepressant because it worked so well at the beginning so more should help when things got worse. She shoved him further down the slope every time she increased the dose. And then she blamed my parenting for his violence. [/QUOTE]
