I'm really hoping to find someone with some BTDT advice.

What dose did he start on? It might be he needs to start lower and work up.

Another thought is prozac can cause tummy upset at first. He might have a tummy ache but not be able to express it to you. My dd started on prozac in october. She did have a little tummy ache which gas drops helped. Also giving it with food is supposed to help. She seemed calmer when starting hers expect in the evenings when she'd get a little hyper which I read is a normal side effect.
