Question about anxiety disorder and medication in children?
My child is on the autism spectrum and his counselor suspects he also has an anxiety disorder. The dr. keeps prescribing antipsychotics, which have all made his condition worse; so did Luvox.
Besides behavioral therapy, is there any medication or other treatment that alleviates anxiety in children?
hi, ecter. i’m an aspie, but i don’t know about treatment for children. i do know there’s an amazing support community on line. if you’d like, i can post to my aspie groups about the question.
we’re up in arms over the ‘find a cure’ campaign, but everybody’s in favor of treatment to help spectrum kids cope, and they know a lot more than i do.
email me if you want me to ask the aspies.
good luck.

I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and could not take the prescription drugs. Everything threw me into a panic attack. I found an herbal remedy called Pure Calm from a website "Native Remedies". Children can take it as well. One drop per year of age into water or juice up to 3 times a day. It really helps!

If he’s not helping my suggestion is find another psychaiatrist (I know, easier said than done). If you don’t have that option you really need to fight for him. My son was has been on Xanax, Wellbutrin, Paxil, another one that starts w/an ‘a’ I can’t remember right now. But anti-psychotics don’t sound like the right thing, and I would definitely hold his feet to the fire about that.
