I’m sorry you are dealing with all this bisous. I feel such a connection to you because we both loved France but mainly because of our boys with issues. I sometimes wonder if our boys will ever find peace.
I have 2 boys on Prozac right now. Ds3 has been diagnosed with extreme ADHD and ds1 is suspected to have mild adhd. Both of them have anxiety but for Ds3 it’s the worst. The Prozac helps both of them to different degrees and in different ways but it doesn’t calm either of them down. It just makes them feel “better.” Ds3 takes both Prozac and Concerta. Without the Concerta he’s climbing the walls. All this to say, if your ds has nervous energy, I think that’s separate from the anxiety. The Prozac could be working and making them feel better (maybe not happy but better than depressed) but it won’t affect his activity level. To get him to calm down, he either needs regular physical activity or he needs a stimulant medication for ADHD. At least that is my guess based on how my boys react to their medication changes. I’m definitely no expert.
We were lucky in that Family members have divulged that they felt better on Prozac and we found it also works for my boys so we didn’t have to try out different anxiety meds. For now. In the last 8 months ds1 went from 10mg slowly up to 40mg. But he says he feels better at this point. I’m dreading but expecting the day that it or the Concerta stops working and we have to go through the process of finding a different medication. That maybe what you’ll have to do if increasing the Prozac doesn’t work.
