[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 103648, member: 1550"] I can give you my first hand experience as one who has had extreme anxiety and panic problems since toddlerhood (my mom traces it back to infancy). The short answer is: It's individual. Paxil works like a charm for me. Some people are more activated and nervous on Paxil. Zoloft made me nuts. Some are calmed by Zoloft, but I ended up in the hospital. Prozac made me manicky and gave me bizarre nightmares. It even made me SLEEPY, but NOT calm. Some people are calmed by Prozac. Celexa made my daughter so on edge that she quit taking it on her own. Some people think Celexa is "it" for calming them down. There is no one answer. If it works for you then it's 100% successful but SSRIs affect people in very different ways. Sadly, lots of it is trial and error. I hope that the first medication you try for your child is THE medication [img]:wink:[/img] Good luck. [/QUOTE]
