Response to New rules cause drop in (antipsychotic) drugs for Fla. kids

State figures show there was a 40 percent drop in the number of preschoolers receiving these drugs. Use was pared back at every age level and eliminated for infants under age 1, for whom there were 23 such prescriptions in 2007.

The number of kids under 6 prescribed more than one of the drugs also dropped, from 73 to 28.
