My six-year old takes liquid Paxil. I'm more concerned that he has started to have accidents at night(he never had any before) because Paxil makes him so tired he can't wake up to go to the bathroom (I do get up and carry him to the bathroom while he is sleeping but he has been having several in one night). He used to not have to go to the bathroom at night but Paxil makes him so thirsty during the day he is always drinking water. Now he is starting to get a loose stools this week and not make it to the bathroom. With school starting in a couple weeks I CAN"T have this happening at school.Paxil AND a year of therapy have turned his OCD and anxiety around and he is a totally different kid. He is so happy. I hated going through the withdrawls of Paxil myself, but I don't know what to do. I'll call his pdoc. Any ideas?
