[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one shares any of the negative effects of these meds. Are they trumped-up nonsense?[/quote]

Not really sure what your point is here. Do you have a child with severe anxiety/OCD?[/quote]

The point is that all these trumped up drugs on this forum have very serious possible side-effects. It's very interesting that there's little if any mention of these side-effects. As if the benefits are *always* worth the consequences/risks of using them, even on very little children.

These drugs affect developing brain of your child, so should ALWAYS be a LAST resort.

People talk about medication side effects all the time in this forum. Especially about stimulant side effects. My son took a low dose of Prozac for about 2 years for absolutely debilitating anxiety and we noticed zero side effects. Of course, I was/am concerned about longterm side effects, and weaned him off when he seemed able to handle his anxiety without meds. I suspect meds will be in his future, though.

On the other hand, we had a terrible experience trying ADHD meds (panic attacks, no appetite whatsoever), and therefore decided against them.

Good luck, OP! Glad to hear your daughter seems better![/quote]
