[quote=Anonymous]We just started treating my 14 yr old's anxiety with medication. It is has been 3 weeks on a low dose and it is like night and day.  He can order and pay in grocery stores, but only with cash. He has a debit card and had some bad experiences (ran it as credit, he didn't know about signing - does it has to match his signature on file somewhere?  and where is his signature on file that he is trying to match? and then once his account was too low so the card was declined) but with the medication he will be able to try it again with me or dh with him.

His anxiety was crippling his life.  It runs in my dh's family but it is only now, looking back, that we realize it.  It has been very painful and limiting to some of our relatives on that side.  We want our ds to not be limited like that.

Some ADHD medications can exacerbate preexisting anxiety, and my ds' medication for ADHD has been part of it, but not the whole cause at all. He had this anxiety before we ever tried ADHD medication.  We just didn't realize that was what it was.

Your pediatrician will ask her a series of questions to dx it, OP.  Don't wait.  [/quote]
