I'm sure the side effects are different in children but I just wanted to say that when my son took it in combination with celexa and depakote(sp). He gained 40 pounds and was very sedated (just the way his school liked him). I took him off it and he lost the weight in about six months. He was on it for his aggressive and argumentative tendencies which has been somewhat controlled by increasing his depakote and switching to Zoloft. However he is not able to attend public school because of his problem with teachers and students. I took him off Zyprexa because I was told it increased the chance of developing diabetes in children.
