[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 118420, member: 2423"] My youngest daughter has a severe anxiety disorder that did not respond positively to Prozac (in the same medication family as Paxil and Lexapro). She is doing beautifully on Zyprexa (in the same medication family as Seroquel and Abilify). We have had to increase the dose several times over the last 1.5 years. The only side effect she's had is weight gain (very typical for atypical antipsychotics). Long term we are worried about other side effects. We meet with her psychiatrist next week to see if we can come up with other medication options. The point is it can take many medication tweaks and changes to properly address a child's symptoms, particularly if they are severe. [/QUOTE]
