[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 131444, member: 2423"] I've also read studies out of NIMH that SSRI antidepressants (specifically Prozac) are more effective than placebo for treating childhood anxiety. But the most effective treatment is a combination of an SSRI and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Some docs believe that SSRIs do help more with anxiety than depression. In the case of my own kids, we haven't had a whole lot of luck with SSRIs. Collectively, they have had bad reactions (mostly disinhibition and mania) to Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa and Lexapro (and I'll throw in the SNRI Effexor). Not a great track record in this family. When the psychiatrist recently wanted to switch M from Prozac to another SSRI, I said no. We chose a different class of antidepressants. [/QUOTE]
