Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 Hi all, I am sure this has been discoused in the past but, we have just started ( 6yr) on Prozac and I wanted to know if anybody has used or is using it and what the side effects were with their children. I already know what the books say but, I wanted to know the real story with our kids. I also wanted to know if it has helped any of the children with ocd behaviors and or attention span. We have tried Respiridal in the past with reactions including sever hyperactivity. ( he is not hyperactive to start). I am very conserned with the anorexia side effect because he is only 30 lb to start with. Please let me know what everyone's opion is!! Thanks Jill Jill -- Mom to and Zachary ( 6yr old Twin Chargers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
