[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 248319, member: 3419"] Hi, I orginally used a psychiatrist with-an interest/specialty in neurology. Wait, maybe it was the other way around. Anyway, I hated his opinion. He spent 5 min. with-us. The second one was a PhD in pscychology and education (2 PhDs, I think). That ofc did several hrs of testing. Seeing shadows is not normal. I don't know much about kids and Lexapro, but that would definitely be my first guess. If it's something new, and the medication is new, it's pretty obvious. My mom was on it, but she was 77. I agree with-Ropefree, try to come up with-another way to get your difficult child to school. Maybe start a carpool, so he can look forward to someone else picking him up? Or buying a special breakfast cereal and surprising him with-it? Or getting him up 15 min. early and letting him watch cartoons? You get the idea. Something to get out of the pattern you're in. What happens just b4 he rages in the a.m.? Is it because he doesn't like bright lights? Or just because he's tired? Or does he hate school? We got our difficult child a cute alarm clock and that worked. For a week. ;) He broke it, but hey, it worked while it worked. It was supposed to give him some control over what time he got up, and take away the routine of hearing our voices. [/QUOTE]
