[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 318506, member: 2322"] Hi smallworld. Don't have any good advice, though might be subclinical case of the flu. Reading your post my gut reaction was to wonder if perhaps some of this might be typical teen puberty stuff rather than difficult child mood disorder stuff. I wonder if she feels bad that she hasn't started her period? High school is such a big transition. Is it possible for her to take a reduced load next semsester or in some way scale back? Maybe she is feeling that pressure to perform now that she is in high school -- not from you but from peers etc in a high achieving community. Is she worried about her brother being away or being sent away herself? Maybe I am reacting to what I sensed unstated in your post, but it didn't strike me as much a medication issue as it did more of a teen/puberty/girl type thing. But then what do I know, I don't have girls. Sorry for all that you are going through. If I went up on Lexapro, I think I would wait until right before Thanksgiving vacation to see if there is any obvious overreaction. I would be worried too if I were you about medication increase especially if you are not totally convinced that it is something medication can address. Big hugs, P. [/QUOTE]
