[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 10960, member: 2423"] SSRIs (with therapy) are typically the first medications prescribed for childhood anxiety. Benzos are typically not used over the long haul because they are addictive. HOWEVER, many kids with mood disorders cannot handle SSRIs because they induce mania. Mood stabilizers (Lithium, Lamictal, Depakote, Tegretol, Trileptal) are generally prescribed first and then any residual symptoms are dealt with once the mood is more stable. [/QUOTE]
