Prozac For Aspergers/anxiety And Aggression

My son has just been perscribed prozac for his anxiety and aggression due to his lack of interpersonal skills, caused by Aspegers Syndrome. he was on concerta and tenex, they are no longer effective. Any idea if this will be an effective route for him? He cant function in school without something because of his disorder. Also will it help with his sleep disruption. he doesnt sleep for days and even with remeron still wakes in teh middle of the night.

Well, there's really no way to say if any given medication will be effective for any given person that tries it. They only thing you can do is try it and see if it helps.

Prozac is very effective for many people, so there's a good chance that it may help, but it all really depends on the person.

Side effects can include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes.

As to his sleep issue, I'm not sure how much it will help with that, since SSRIs can cause sleep problems in some people that take them.

Has his doctor tried any actual sleep inducing medications?
