It is okay for a 12 year old to take Xanax?!


Question: It is okay for a 12 year old to take Xanax?
My daughter is 12 and she is going to overnight summer camp, she has hydrophobia so she is terrified of the shower. She has to do it, required for camp. Would it be okay for her to take Xanax (the medicine, also known as alprazolam)? Whenever i bring up water she almost stops breathing. Will it help her?

That is something that needs to be decided by a doctor.



Don't give your child your meds. Take her to the Dr. & get her own. Duh

Sleep Away Summer Camp Questions?
I'm going to sleep away summer camp this summer, i have to decide now because it gets full soon, i have some questions.
1. Would it suck for me to sleep in a tent with allergies to the heat? It gets in the 75's round the time i go. I hate bugs. There's a cabin option but $50 more. Tent or cabin?
2. Can you choose your own activities? I can barely swim, will they make me?
3. Is there a bedtime? (12-13 year olds)
4. What fun things happen there? Are there like talent shows there and stuff.
5. Any perks that come with sleep away? (5 days)

Absolutely not! If she has hydrophobia, that is rabies. She needs to go to the doctor and get treatment, or else it will be fatal. Was she bitten by an animal recently?



maybe you should have just said she's afraid of water.
she is old enough to take the drug so run and get her a prescription before she leaves.



Don't give your kids meds.
