After a year of trialling stimulants with a ton of increased anger and rage to show for it, we stopped and my 7 year old has been on Zoloft and guanfacine, which has been somewhat helpful. at one point we tried going up to 2 mg from 1 mg w the guanfacine and it led to grumpiness. tried going up from 25 to 50 mg of Zoloft several weeks ago and I feel like random bursts of rage are increasing again. obviously calling the prescriber on Monday but just screaming into the void I guess to see if anyone can relate.

it's hot and we need repairs!

stimulants unfortunately have not been helpful for my child and guanfacine has helped a little bit but not much. sertraline has been helpful, but I do still see signs of anxiety and of course the impulsivity leading to getting in trouble at school does not help. we recently saw a new doctor who said that to see effects of sertraline usually need to be at at least 50 mg. My child is at 25. curious if anyone else has children taking it, what their dose is and what your experience has been like?
