[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS was on generic Prozac for about 1.5 years. He gradually over a month went off the medication and has done well. you can't just discontinue them and it was, as I noted, a month-long gradual process. As for a PP's question about Zoloft dosage, DS in early 2nd grade was on 25 mg -- it was way too high and had to be discontinued.[/quote] How is his anxiety since he's been off of Prozac?[/quote] Under control for the most part. He also has ADHD and a new medication has better controlled his symptoms. It's possible - and the psychiatrist agrees - that better ADHD control can decrease anxiety (and vice versa). His anxiety has been both general anxiety disorder (never that bad) and social anxiety, which was a major problem -- he's a much different kid now. It wasn't just medication - he did therapy as well, and that helped.[/quote]
