In the event we have been most helped by a good counsellor specializing in children, and the book 'Freeing Your Child from Anxiety: Powerful, Practical Solutions to Overcome Your Child's Fears, Worries, and Phobias' by Chansky. | |

A child psychiatrist told me that whereas adults are told to take the Ativan when needed, in children, if you wait until it's needed, you've probably waited too long, and therefore he recommends using a small, regular dose. I'm not giving you advice, just suggesting some medications you could ask her doctor about. | |

However, my impression is that a therapist would be looking for a variety of symptoms, or a pretty incapacitating level, to conclude that she is a good candidate for this type of therapy. - - I learned recently from an ear nose and throat doctor that medications in the Valium family, such as Ativan, reduce feelings of nausea, whether they are caused by a physical ailment or by more complex psychological phenomena. And that class of medications can be very helpful for panic. You could ask - | |
