[QUOTE="SRL, post: 227828, member: 701"] You need to call to the psychiatrist about the Lexapro. One thing you need to know about medications: sometimes the side effects can be immediate while in other kids they can build up over months. I've known a number of kids whose anger and other side effects continued to build up when on an SSRI that wasn't right for them. If I were in your shoes I'd go for a medication change first, especially if this is the first medication he's been on. And if you are seriously considering BiPolar (BP) as a diagnosis, there's NO WAY he should be on an SSRI in the first place. As for hospitalization, truthfully what parents generally report here is that it's usually much, much harder on mom than on the child. Young children often do very well as they are in a safe, secure, environment with someone to watch over them 24/7. And they're getting a vacation from the object of their authority battles. [/QUOTE]
