Possible: Each child can respond differently to meds. Sometimes it's hit or miss until u find the right one. Ask your MD for MillineumPGT saliva test - genitic test to see what meds have higher potential side effects. Ask about buspar (buspirone) if mild anxiety. Try chamomile calming teas twice a day with melatonin at night. May consider visit with therapist to learn anxiety relaxation exercises. Good luck!
