Children do not need anti-depressants.

Some might, but they should be closely monitored or screened for a genetic predisposition for adverse drug effects with these psychotropic drugs. With the latest SSRIs, on starting these drugs or increasing the dose, you might find serotonin syndrome. Weaning them off, you may find serotonin withdrawal syndrome.

If I was a kid, I can't imagine how much I would not like to be growing up now.

Thanks for the ping.

The withdrawal is very important.

A friend of ours went berserk going cold turkey off Effexor. You just can’t do that with chemicals. Threatened to kill his wife (he had a concealed weapon permit and a gun) so she ran out of the house and called police from a neighbors house. He had a standoff with the police from the afternoon and thru the night, firing shots out the windows. He ended up killing himself. This was soooo out of character.

We had a family member commit suicide and were all just shocked until we found an empty bottle of effexor that she just stopped taking. After studying the effects of the withdrawals we had a better understanding of what happened.

If this killer had suddenly stopped taking his Prozac, his thoughts would be worse than when he was on them.

and found a lot of answers there on how people feel on these withdrawals and it is very scary.
