Wellbutrin for a 6 year old? Not FDA approved?

Posted by Staci on February 12, 2001, at 20:51:23

I have a six year old who has been diagnosed ADD and "mood disorder". She is taking 1/2 of a 5mg tablet once in the morning and 1/2 of Wellbutrin 75mg once a day in the morning. From what I understand, Wellbutrin has not been approved for a child under 18. Is there any research or info. about prescribing this to a young child? Also, If I decide to take her off this medication, do I have to taper off as you would for a drug like Zoloft, or can I just stop? Any information that you could give me in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
