[quote=Anonymous]Ds (14)  has been on max dose of Zoloft for years. He's appears to never have highs nor lows, is pretty numb all the time. 
Pre zoloft he had extreme outbursts of anger, anxiety even refusing to go to school most days. 
Now he loves school,  does well, has friends and is involved in some extra curricular activities.  
But I can't helpmfeelinf that the max dose is too much. He isn't learning to self regulate because he never gets upset, never sad, never angry, never really happy, never very excites about anything.

We tapered down by 25% last week and sure enough, tonight he had a moment where he yelled at me and left the room. Dh feels like we should put him back on full dose but I feel like it was pretty normal teen outburst, especially for someone who isn't used to feeling his own emotions.

I would discuss with psychiatrist but our dear, smart psychiatrist moved a few months ago and his medication is now managed by a new psychiatrist who hasn't shown any interest in him as a person, doesn't ask many questions and is happy ro just keep things as they are.

Am I doing the wrong thing? [/quote]
