Has anyone ever had a child on Celexa?
My son whom is six has been on Celexa for about four months. I have not noticed any shrinking down there, but I do not look at that area often anymore because he is not in diapers. He was having panic attacks over the summer. First they put him on Paxil which was not a good med for him. It made him rage for like three hours. So they quickly took him off of that. They tried him on Celexa which seems good with him. He still has anxiety, but no more panic attacks. He is on other meds as well (Clonidine and Risperdal). These meds are not tested on children either, but my son really needed them. Before going on meds he would rage for like four hours at a time. I did not want my child being a guinea pig either, but I do not want him to suffer with the rages etc. I think these children suffer being stuck inside these brains that do not cooperate with them. You need to way the pros and the cons yourself. Research the topic of the meds they want to put him on, as well as your sons disorder. Only you know how your son is suffering from his disorder, so only you know if the meds are worth the risks that may be. I know for my son and my family I made the right decision putting him on meds. But I am not in your shoes, so I can not answer for you.
