SSRI

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have a question for those of you who have kids on SSRI. Do you give the

medicine in the am or pm? I think I have read here that some do the pm instead

of the am . We have always done the am but I was wondering ....Thanks Candi

Hi Candi,

We always give them in the a.m. Once I asked Dr. G about giving them

at night, because I thought that they were making him sleepy in the

morning when they first kick in, but Dr. G said, unequivocally, " no " .

Unfortunately, I forget the specific reason. Maybe someone here

will know.

Candi,

We've always given SSRIs in the AM, according to Dr. G's directions.

My three yr old son just started taking lexapro along with valtrex and diflucan.

Its been about two weeks and he is doing considerably better. More intuned and

no more crying during transitions. Nice gains but what worries me is the future.

If we continue this route would the ssri cause any form of sexual dysfunction

when he is older. Parents with teenage children or older adults has there been

any issues regarding this?I see it always mentioned with the use of any ssri.

Any thoughts. rgds Kavita

Kavita,

My son is 18 and recovered. He has been seeing Dr. G since he was five. He has

been on an SSRI since then with no long term ill effects. Hang in there. It is

worth it.

Your specific mention of sexual dysfunction can be answered by looking at the

same research that makes mention of it. Most of the research about sexual

dysfunction when taking an SSRI is true, however, the symptoms of sexual

dysfunction disappear once cessation of that SSRI occurs. Also, as he gets

older, there are other options treating serotonin levels that do not affect

sexual dysfunction. Of course with all of this, we always have to outweigh the

bad with the good.

My son has language with great diction but what truly is lacking is fuctional

speech. He can repeat things but most of his spontaneous speech is one to two

words. Making scentences is hard for him.

Will ssri truly be able to handle this left tempral lobe hypofusion. Is it the

length of use or is it a question of finding the right ssri that will target the

area? More questions pour vous. thanks Kavita

Hi Kavita -

NeuroSPECT scans done w/BrainMatters and Dr Mena have

shown the benefit of SSRIs in addressing temporal lobe

hypoperfusion.

You may be able to see some of the slides that go w/Dr

G's DVD done in Mississippi - DVD has more info but

you can see slides, and I'm pretty sure they include

images after SSRI treatment.

Of course, SSRI isn't the only factor ... the immune

dysfunction contributing to inflammation is addressed

as well. SSRIs even have impact on the immune

function as well (actually many areas).
