[QUOTE="ML, post: 86089"] My son was diagnosed with separation, social and general anxiety about 9 months ago (along with ADHD). I finally decided that his quality of life was so bad (as was mine) that it warranted the risks of trying *something*. First we tried prozac (about six months ago) and it made him very hyper, more angry and aggitated. After giving up on that it took me another three months to give celexa a try. This was six weeks ago and I have to say that difficult child's anxiety is about 50 percent better. This may be as good as it gets but it's livable. Before, not so much. My choke chain leash was very short. He still has the executive functioning deficits and the attitude. He still has the short fuse but he recovers faster and the meltdowns are less. No miracles here but I'm grateful for the slight improvement. MicheleL [/QUOTE]
