[QUOTE="C.J., post: 256444, member: 1987"] When N* was 13, we tried Lexapro for depression/anxiety. Within a few days, she was hallucinating, seeing demons telling her they would kill her/me/others. Right around that time, there were published reports of higher incidences of suicidality among teens on anti-depressants (early 2004). ER visit required, admitted to psychiatric ward, took off Lexapro (at my insistance) and hallucinations disappeared until she was put on a sleeping aid a year or so later- she didn't see demons, but it was still spooky. She's very leery of medications now. I don't discount that the Rx can be beneficial. My advice is watch closely for changes in behavior when a new drug is introduced. [/QUOTE]
