[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised your md did not go over the basics. Prozac takes a while (4 to 6 weeks) to achieve full effectiveness. While the drug ramps up, you look for whether your kid tolerates it well. You want especially to notice whether your child is restless or agitated, gets aggressive, physically hyperactive, or displays pressured/uncontrolled speech. Other side effects to note: sleep disturbances, fatigue, headaches, changes in appetite, nausea. For what it's worth, my teen reports that the "prozac burp" is worse with the capsule form, and can be lessened by taking the med with food.[/quote] My DH took DS to the doctor --- I wasn't there. Also wanted to hear from people who had BTDT.[/quote]
