Hi Wendy,
Paxil was an enormous help back when Kendra began taking it when she was in kindergarten. Now it is more difficult to tell. She does not have ADD/ADHD, however. Unfortunately there's a streak of anxiety disorders that run in my family. My older daughter is fine, but my younger one inherited the stuff.
Her next appointment is Sept. 20, and I will let you know how it went. Thank you for your response.

So far, there has been no long-term problems with children using any of the SSRIs. I do know, that from clinical experience, many child psychiatrists like Paxil because it is relatively safe and effective, when compared to other, older medications.
