Hi Diane,
Sorry for the lateness in responding to this question, but is your daughter's anxiety being helped by the Paxil, in your own observations?
Also, has she been tested for ADD/ADHD? Perhaps at your psych. appointment, this could be discussed?
Just a hunch, could be off-the-mark...Let us know how it goes next month?
Yours sincerely,
Wendy

So far, there has been no long-term problems with children using any of the SSRIs. I do know, that from clinical experience, many child psychiatrists like Paxil because it is relatively safe and effective, when compared to other, older medications.
