[quote=Anonymous]We started our AuDHD kid on an SSRI at age 10 because many of his meltdowns/emotional dysregulation seemed anxiety- driven. We first tried guanfacine and clonidine. It was before our neuropsych, so ADHD and autism not diagnosed (but not at all a surprise- we waited too long). He now also takes adderall but I think Zoloft does more of the heavy lifting in keeping him regulated. We noticed an improvement as he started the SSRI. At one point he wanted to stop (it was a pill swallowing thing, not a side effects thing) and his dysregulation got worse. [/quote]
