[QUOTE="Steely, post: 55908, member: 3301"] Well, the problem is that most psychiatric medications are NOT approved for children. Prozac and stims are some of the only ones. The reason is not because the medications are, or are not safe for kids - but because there has not been any money, time, or research devoted to proving the efficacy in children. It is really scary - but, yet, the doctors and parents hands are tied when dealing with a really sick child. So don't freak out too much........BUT, because this medication is SO new, and there is less research on it than other more well used sleep aides, you might want your doctor to try something different.
