[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 395632, member: 8831"] i think its a great question, and absolutely worth discussing with the psychiatrist. i've always learned the rule of threes--three days, three weeks, three months---as the most likely windows for side effects to rear their ugly heads. for mine, it was roughly the 3 week mark on zoloft when we saw an issue. BUT, and this is a big but... i'll never know if it was truly a reaction, or if it was a not enough to treat the underlying diagnosis to begin with, or i was so in tune to possible SE's that i overreacted, or just a coincidence. like you, i was in no mood to find out. i was very comfortable moving on to a new medication. but for us, its the one medication i wouldnt rule out another trial of--the whole thing was too gray to make a permanent conclusion. (in contrast, there was NO mistaking the extreme SE's of concerta, and there will never be a time in her life that we will *ever* retrial that!). i hope your doctor takes your concerns seriously and you can worth together to find a better solution. its hard.
