[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 85924, member: 2423"] Your psychiatrist is correct. As a first-line treatment plan, most childhood anxiety is treated with SSRI antidepressants (for example, Prozac). Other medications that are sometimes prescribed are the atypical antipsychotics (for example, Risperdal and Seroquel), but they have a significant side-effect profile. Buspar is another medication that is sometimes used. The Benzodiazapines (for example, Xanax, Klonopin and Ativan) are sometimes prescribed in the short term, but they are not used long term for children because they can be addictive. Good luck.
