I'm looking for a response from anyone who has a child on anti-depressents. I have a 10 year old step-child who was placed on amitriptyline hci (50 mg per day) without any consultation from his father. He has not been diagnosed depressive and my concern is that he might be better off to explore other options prior to being medicated. His father and I are very involved in his life and have not noticed any symptoms of depression. Would a second opinion other than his peditrician be warranted?
