Can Zoloft Be Given To Children With Autism?
I have read articles that the brain chemistry of autistic children is different than other children but by the age of 9 or 10 there levels of NAA have caught up to the levels of the typically developing children. Will giving my HF autistic 6 year old Zoloft hurt him more than benefit him in the long run?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If your doctor has prescribed your kid with it continue it. Slowly he will tamper the dose and stop it. unless prescribed do not give the drug as it can cause drug dependence . do not stop the drug at once. kindly meet your doctor and tamper and stop.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
