Paxil response - can anyone explain?

Posted by LyndaK on May 21, 2003, at 1:45:05

My 7 year old son was recently given a trial on Paxil to see if it would help his anxiety (which may be the cause of some problems he's having at school). Although it did seem to help him be less anxious, he became more defiant, impulsive, hyper, and sometimes aggressive. We started at 2.5mg, then 5mg., then 7.5mg. With each increase in dose the negative behaviors became more pronounced. We did take him off, but I am puzzled by his response to this drug and the pdoc didn't seem to have an explanation either. Anyone out there have some insight as to why he may have responded this way?

Thanks,
Lynda
