[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anxiety often looks like irritability in children. Autism can make that irritability worse. Stimulants can make anxiety worse. You need to talk to your psychiatrist if the stimulants might be contributing (have you had a recent dose or medication change) or if a SSRI or mood stabilizer (ie, abilify) might be appropriate. Abilify saved our family and I resisted it for far too long.[/quote] Op - I have talked to our psychiatrist another it, and our gp, and both say that ssris are not a first line treatment for a child of this age and they would prefer to exhaust numerous other approaches before going down that road. These are both highly respected nyc private practitioners - this is not quackery [/quote]
