[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 111699, member: 2423"] Is Dylan more hyperactive and impulsive since starting Luvox? If so, that could be a side effect. Here's some info on Luvox dosing: For children aged 8 to 17, the recommended starting dose is 25 milligrams taken at bedtime. The dose may be increased to a maximum of 200 milligrams daily for children under 11, and 300 milligrams for children aged 11 to 17. Young girls sometimes respond to lower doses than boys do. Larger daily dosages are divided in two, as for adults. Dylan is on a very low dose of Luvox, plus it takes 4 to 6 weeks to see any benefit. It may calm him down -- SSRIs can do that -- but it takes time. If he's not experiencing side effects, I'm not sure you've given it a fair trial. Both Ativan and Klonopin, which are Benzodiazapines, are prescribed for anxiety, but they can be addictive and require higher and higher doses over time. Ativan works quicker and for a shorter period of time. Klonopin takes longer to kick in but works over a longer period of time. What happened when Dylan took Seroquel (I ask because my son just started taking it)? [/QUOTE]
