[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 204196, member: 1233"] It sounds like seroquel might be an option. I didn't know you had trouble with antihistamines, wow, what do you do during allergy season? Has anyone tried any of the benzodiazipines? I know they are not commonly used in kids, but if you have tried everything else, well, maybe someone will help you give htat a try? I took a VERY low dose of xanax for YEARS with-o ever going up - it just took the edge off of my anxiety. Xanax is alprazolam. Valium is diazepam, and if used for more than a couple of weeks is a major depressant. Lorazepam seems to be the choice for long-term anxiety treatment among this group, from what the psychiatrists have told me. It is a THOUGHT, though I know you want to stay away from this kind of medication. It couldn't be riskier than thorazine (I know YOU had the sense to say NO to that, but the psychiatrist didn't). anyway, you have really worked hard to teach her all sorts of tools to handle this. What does The Bipolar Child say about anxiety? It seems to be the "bible" for bipolar, and was packed with info, maybe there is something in that book to help her? I KNOW how hard it is to end up sitting iwth the adults, though, to be honest, for may years I thought the ohter kids were idiots adn was happier listening to the adults gossip adn chat. BUT I was very anxiety ridden at school - and back then no one did anything about anxiety in kids because a kid's life was "carefree" don'tcha know? Anyway, Hugs! [/QUOTE]
