Dear Cam,
My 10-year-old daughter has taken Paxil for 5 years. She took 10 mg until this summer when her dose was raised to 20mg. (She was experiencing severe anxiety - kind of had a meltdown.)
I want to trust my doctor but that has become difficult due to his investigation by the Medical Board. I have a different psychiatrist lined up but his first available appointment isn't until late September.I know that Paxil isn't FDA-approved for children even though it is prescribed for them. Do you know if the drug is harmful or has some long-term ill effects with regard to children?
Sincerely,
Diane J.
