My daughter is going to be starting college this June, 2008.  She is a very smart girl, however, she has always experienced somewhat of anxiety.  For example, when she was an infant I could not take her where there was a lot of noisy people.  She just cried and cried.  When she was with a group for homecoming dance and they all went to a restaurant she called me and said that just as soon as she went in her chest felt heavey and she was very anxious.  Now, it seems to be getting worse.  I have sent her to a doctor but I would like to know what medications that are not addictive that I can request.  I do not think a child should take zanex nor does she want to get on an antidepressant because she is not depressed.  Last night she told me that she has got to do something because she feels out of control.  This is a child that is absolutely gorgeous, extremely popular, very gifted in school who scored 1350 on SAT in the 9th grade.  The medication frightens me because her dad has very addictive personalities and I see that in my daughter.  I would like to have some options so my daughter doesn't think I am just ignoring her request.
