My daughter had selective mutism in preschool and kindergarten. I took her to a psychiatrist and she was prescribed 15mg of Zoloft for anxiety (one pill cut into quarters). This amount of medicine is so small it basically metabolizes in a day. She was cured instantly. She stayed on Zoloft for 6 months then slowly cycled off. We tried speech therapy and went to a psychologist, but that was a waste of money. Today she is a bright happy confident 13 year old girl. She participates in class, gives presentations, and loves to debate.
Also, we are typically drug free, organic types. This was our last resort and it was incredibly successful. My heart aches for the pain she was in when the year I did nothing.
