[quote=Anonymous]Our DS started Prozac in 3rd grade. He was participating in an NIH research study on anxiety and CBT. After evaluating him, they determined (and we agreed) that CBT alone wasn't sufficient and, through them, he started on the Prozac. As PP noted, it took several weeks before we saw any improvements - but we also didn't see any negative side effects. DS was on it for about 9 months and it made a significant difference. His anxiety was still present but the medication allowed him to control it (and use his CBT techniques) rather than it controlling him. DS is now in 7th grade and has not been on it again. But, I won't hesitate to put him on it again if he has long period of interfering anxiety. [/quote]
