Sorry to repeat what also Crazychuck said. I don't think a 10 years old girl med should be on an SSRI, never mind what the doctor say about it. I was anxious too when I was a child and I have several problems too as an adult. But I can't see the point in giving a child an antidepressant since they don't cure anything as all the babblers here know. There are chanches that your daughter will improve in the years to come, but this chances, in my humble opinion, are minimized if she takes meds now. By the way, anxiety at that age may mean anything at all, but taking an antidepressants surely does. Moreover many antidepressants can cause NEW syntoms, no psychistrist will admit this, but, once again, we all know. Sorry again if my opinion has been too harsh, I can understand it's hard for you not to know what's in your daughter's best interest.
