SSRI's?

[Guest guest]

I am going to ask my DAN doc for a script for an SSRI. Is there one that seems

to work best for most kids (paxil, celexa or prozac?). Also, I know Dr G uses

low dose......so would that mean my son would work up to 1/2 the regular dose?

Thanks!

You're correct on how Dr G doses - starts very low and slowly increases.

We can't suggest an SSRI, since they vary so much among children, but I do know

Dr G tends to start with Paxil then Zoloft.

Each child is different. Those are not the meds Dr. G used with my kid.

was never on either of those SSRI's. And the type really needs to be

determined by a doctor. I know how tempting it is to be Dr. Mom. I did it

for many years until I found Dr. G. However, we are not doctors. Although

our input is extremely important to our children's care, we must have a

qualified doctor on board. Hope this helps.
