[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 186320, member: 2423"] Both my son and younger daughter have taken Klonopin for anxiety, but it honestly didn't do anything for them (didn't even make them sleepy). In fact, my daughter became disinhibited, which can be a side effect. Because Klonopin can be addictive, most docs choose to use it as a short-term solution for children. Buspar also did nothing for my son, who has severe anxiety. If SSRIs are out of the picture (they are in my son and younger daughter's case because of severe negative reactions), the atypical antipsychotics (Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Geodon, Abilify) are sometimes used for anxiety. As an added benefit, they treat tics. On the downside, weight gain and metabolic changes such as increased glucose and cholesterol can occur as side effects. Hope you make some headway soon. [/QUOTE]
