My daughter takes it in the morning. She is 12 about 60 lbs.

She started at 25 mg. The first few weeks of an increase I saw her

shaking her legs in the evening. It went away by the third week.

We increased it after 6 weeks to 50mg, than 3 months later when

her anxiety was up again we increased it to 75mg.

It really helped with reducing her panic attacks when she would

lose something, she has less panic about loud noises, she copes

better with the feel of clothes.

I also work with a behaviorist about her outbursts whenever there

is something she wants that she has to wait on. I don't want to

add abilify until I am sure I have done all I can with the beahviorist.

Her anxiety sometimes looks like OCD. If your child

has OCD like fears the dose can go over 100mg.

For most kids with autism they seem to have less side

effects at the lower doses.

Good luck.

My son is also on 54mg of the Zoloft. I also give it to him in the morning, as

the doctor told us, it take a little bit to work into his system. His main

issue was also anxiety, and it has worked very well, as he used to get very

worked up on many different things.

Yeah, my son's in that neighborhood, and those are pretty much his issues.

Taking it in the evening seems to be working for us. His fears were affecting

his sleep (and ours for that matter). He also has the other fear issues and

gets worked up. It seems to be helping, but it is still very early.
