[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 57002, member: 2423"] Has he ever been on an SSRI? My daughter developed a choking phobia last summer, refused to eat, was hospitalized and fed through an NG tube. The ONLY thing that helped reduce her fear of eating was Prozac. I'm not saying your difficult child has this type of eating phobia, but I'd wager he has sensory food aversion, which requires intensive therapeutic interventions that may include desensitization in conjunction with medications. Before you say that kids with BiPolar (BP) can't be on SSRIs, I have two who are able to tolerate low doses of SSRIs once their moods were stabilized with mood stabilizers. The SSRIs have helped tremendously with anxiety and depression. There are other migraine preventives that don't cause appetite loss. They include Inderal, Depakote, Neurontin and Amitriptyline. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
