My daughter's psychiatrist prescribed her a generic Zoloft. She's been taking it for a few days now, and the treatment is just starting with the minimum dosage. I read that the first few weeks are the hardest – due to getting used to the medication, problems can worsen, and the risk of suicidal thoughts is high, sometimes uncontrollably so. We're not leaving her alone, but school is tomorrow, and now I'm worried she might have bad thoughts. Has anyone whose teens took similar antidepressants experienced difficulties adjusting to the medication? P.S. She's taking it with tranquilizers as a "cover."

I was taking Zoloft and had a side effect, not really intrusive thoughts, but they would wander through my mind.

Let the school's homeroom teacher know about the situation, ask them to keep an eye on things and not to spread the word too much. I think I commented on your anonymous post about this the other day. Wishing your family strength and patience to get through this period without any major upsets.

I'm on Zoloft, and something to cover it. It's fine, no side effects.

sveta bebi-bo My daughter isn't saying anything, and everything seems calm from the outside. But she's still a child, and I'm worried because this is our first time dealing with antidepressants. What if these thoughts/mood swings appear spontaneously and I'm not there for her at that moment? How long did this state last for you?

My daughter was taking fluoxetine. There were no side effects at first, but I warned her that suicidal thoughts might occur and that she should come to me immediately if that happened. Later, she experienced nausea. That's the only downside.

sveta bebi-bo They changed my medications. But it wasn't that drastic or intrusive, in terms of thoughts. Now they've prescribed antidepressants again, but not Zoloft

Don't worry, you're covered, everything will be okay. I took 2 types of antidepressants, the only side effect was strong irritability.

My son took amitriptyline, and he had no side effects or addiction. Don't leave him alone if you're scared. Keep him under supervision. Why is such a medication even needed with such a side effect?
