Child Anxiety Medication
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.
