Hi my first post. My 15 year old son has been diagnosed with PTSD. He was taking Aripriprazole (He hears voices and sees figures), and sertraline 150mg. Aripriprazole was stopped as it had zero affect on voices. He has tried Olanzapine, Qutriapine but these had no impact either. Not sure if voices are as a result of trauma and/or depression so the antipsychotic drugs have been stopped. Leaving him on sertraline and he now feels like he has either excessive energy or at the other end of scale very very low. Would this be a side affect of the Sirtralen? He was thinking of asking to come off Sirtralen and trying respiradon. Any thoughts advice or guidance please? Thanks
