Zoloft for ADHD and Aspergers Syndrome?
Zoloft , (sertraline HCl) is has recently become more widely used to treat ADHD Aspergers Syndrome.
Drug companies withheld information showing antidepressants were ineffective and could be harmful to children and should have issued warnings on their products. Health authorities in Britain and the United States have voiced concern or advised doctors not to prescribe the drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to children under 18 because of a potential suicide risk.

There is also recent research
clearly demonstrating that
trouble sleeping, upset stomach, diarrhea, dry mouth,, sexual dysfunction, sleepiness or
tiredness, tremor, indigestion, increase of sweating, agitation, decreased appetite. Zoloft can substantially elevate serum caffeine levels.
Patients who continue their same level of coffee, tea, or cola ingestion while taking Zoloft could suffer caffeine
intoxication. Sertraline can
cause some people to become hostile and aggressive. Both hostility and
aggression are mentioned in the package insert in the US. In the United
Kingdom, one of the “undesirable effects” of Zoloft is “aggressive
reaction.” The Supreme Court New South Wales (Australia)
ruled on May 24, 2001 that a man’s ingestion of Zoloft caused him to murder
his wife in the case
Some claim that thousands of Americans are in jails
throughout the United States today because Pfizer and the other SSRI
manufacturers have not only failed to tell the public that this drug causes
hostility and aggression. It causes some people (3-5%) to
experience a suicidal event. Such events are marked by: 1) suicidal thoughts
2) suicidal gestures (typically cutting of the body) 3) suicide attempts 4)
actual death by suicide. 50 mg daily starting and should not exceed a maximum of 200 mg daily.
No clear dose-response relationship has been demonstrated, Sertraline should be administered with food once daily preferably with
the evening meal, or, if administration in the morning is desired, with
breakfast.

For over 35 years I have worked with ADHD children and their families. Having been an ADHD child myself, I have a personal interest in this area.
Current explanations of the disorder never fit my experience or the children I saw. It always seemed contradictory that children who could not attend to school work could play computer games for hours, though both activities use the same areas of the brain. This stimulated years of research and rethinking of ADHD theory and treatment. From this I developed my new (patented) and highly effective, drug free, Computer Aided Emotional Restructuring (CAER) treatment and wrote my books, ADHD: Drug-free and Doin' Fine and ADHD: A Path to Success to explain it. Learn how ADHD is not a defect, deficit or a disorder, but a highly skilled short-term defense mechanism that backfires in the long-run. Read more than 40 Amazon.com “customer reviews” of my book and treatment. The most typical response when people read the book is “That makes so much more sense than anything else I have read”, “You describe my child exactly”.
It will empower you an optimistic lens that will forever change how you see your child and his problems.
