[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 160823, member: 1550"] First off, Prozac made me VERY nervous so it could be the Prozac. I would start with that right off. Now I'm going to share my own experience when I was thirteen, however I wasn't on any medications that could have contributed to it. I don't know for sure if this is how your child feels, but I used to tell my mother, "I'm afraid, but I don't know what I'm afraid of." It turned out to actually be the beginning of my depression and anxiety disorder, which developed into a mood disorder. Clonazapan has MEGA helped me for YEARS, however I wouldn't give it to a child as it is habit forming. I made an adult decision to take it because I got so bad that I couldn't leave the house. Unlike with some people, years later it's effectiveness is still as strong as ten years ago, and it enables me to do the things that everyone else does, even go to baseball games in big stadiums (which used to freak me out). I only take a small amount at bedtime and I'm not worried about withdrawal; I plan to take it forever, since I've had such bad anxiety all of my life. There are other alternatives for a child's anxiety and perhaps he needs something for depression or an emergent mood disorder. I don't know if this helped, but I did want to share my own experience and what it turned out to be. It was really odd when I felt afraid and wasn't sure where it was coming from. I found out when I got older that this is a common symptom when one has a mood problem. Take care. [/QUOTE]
