soraya Report post Posted June 6, 2007 My son Nick has been prescribed sertraline, he has been on it for three weeks but have not seen much improvement with his anxiety, he is on 100mg per day. Has anyone else used this and had good results? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Monster Report post Posted June 6, 2007 I have been on Sertraline and i must admit it didn't do much for me either, I've been through 5 different meds and it's just a case of finding a one that works and that doesn't have nasty side effects.

Kathryn Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Hi Soraya, My daughter was on sertraline for a few months. It didn't have any noticeable effect on her anxiety, and she developed a skin rash which may have been linked to it, although we couldn't prove this. She was convinced the drug was causing it and refused to carry on taking it. She went on to another antidepressant: amytripteline, which suited her a bit better.

Frangipani Report post Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) My son takes Luvox for Anxiety and no side effects he was agrophobic without it. Perhaps you could ask the doctor about this medication. Its hard giving advice for meds as each childs makeup and chemistry is so different, that what works for one doesnt necessarily work with another. Best keep close contact with the doctor until you get it right. F x Edited June 7, 2007 by Frangipani Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K x Hi Kathryn, Thanks for the info, we will keep going with the sertraline for a while and if there is no change i will see the doc about a different medication Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its such a minefield this medication, so many different ones, i just wish Nick didnt have to take anything but he is so anxious and obsessive at the moment we will try anything to keep sane!!!!

soraya Report post Posted June 8, 2007 All the best <'> and welcome to the forum, I just noticed that you are new here. <'> F x Thanks so much, it is so good to know that you are not alone, my son Nick is 13 with AS, he is very difficult, aggressive and anxious, also he is refusing school at the moment so it is 24/7 which is driving us both mad!!!!! I can relate to so many of you especially hev, her son steve sounds so much like Nick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
