Maybe drugs just arent the way to go anymore!. Have you ever tried controlling your anger on your own!? Its not gonna happen over night so youll have to give it a little time but you should try it!. I have anger problems still to this day but I deal with it on my own!. The doctors tried to put me on drugs but I never took them!. And I must say I've done pretty well for myself Im married with 3 children so I must not be that bad right!? Im not saying Im completly cured but Im 100 times better than I used to be and the beauty of it is I can say I did it myself!. Good Luck on your journey to finding your cure!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Prozac is approved for treating major depression in children 8 years and older and for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder in children 7 years and older!.
Additionally, the progression of major depression is associated with a worsening of symptoms and/or the emergence of suicidal thinking or behavior in both adults and children, whether or not they are taking antidepressants!. Individuals being treated with Prozac and their caregivers should watch for any change in symptoms or any new symptoms that appear suddenly--especially agitation, anxiety, *****hostility*****, panic, restlessness, extreme hyperactivity, and suicidal thinking or behavior--and report them to the doctor immediately!.
