Prozac for 7 year old

[Chipcookiemom]

My adhd son is struggling. Lots of sensory challenges major reactivity and is dyslexic and a slow processor, but still bright. We had planned to do summer school for summer learning loss, but he essentially went into fight flight at dropoff the two days we attempted. He hid in his sweatshirt and sat in lobby whole day. Major anxiety. Turns out he is terrified abt not knowing anyone. We modified the plan and he's just going in for his weekly OT and three sessions of weekly sped pullouts.

We have tried multiple stimulants that make him more anxious and guanfacine.

We are considering an ssri, prozac. His developmental pediatrician has seen a lot of success with it for kids who look aggressive, but are actually anxious. The psychologist we work with is open to him trying it. We are of course worried abt a med with a Blackbox label and that he'll likely be on for years. Forever?

For those with kids on ssris, have you seen a greater ability to work through the avoidance behaviors connected to the anxiety?
