I would say this is an excessive amount
unless her symptoms were severe and/or unrelenting.

How old is your daughter?


First of all Seroquel is not indicated for either anxiety or ADD. In fact Seroquel would not help attention, unless there is an underlying schizophrenic disorder. There are much safer medications to use for anxiety.

I would definately get a second opinion, whenever dealing with kids, and medications such
as this.

20 mg of Paxil is used for major depressive disorder. And it is can be very difficult to discontinue if taken for a while.

I don't mean to scare you in the least but when dealing with children one should use medications minimally and as a last resort. A good doctor can minimalize medications and keep symptoms under controll. Best of luck.
