[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 318514, member: 7083"] typical teen stuff or not, if one has an underlying predisposition for depression or anxiety, it makes typical teen stuff all the more difficult. My easy child is making an appointment tomorrow to get an AD. He's definitely typical teen, but is predisposed to depression and the normal teen issues are really effecting it. I know you know this. I'm just clarifying what I'm thinking. I'm also over-tired, so bear with me. I haven't found studies that show Lamictal to be any more effective over 200mg than at 200mg for a mood disorder. However, I haven't really looked very much and I know that Janet takes quite a bit more than 200mg and it helps her. Lexapro is very different from Paxil, although they are in the same class. She's been stable at 7.5mg without disinhibition, which would make me inclined to try the increase to 10mg - over a long weekend would be ideal. The nice thing about Lexapro is that improvements happen quickly, so you should know early on if it is really a medication issue or not. I'm sorry, I don't remember...is she in therapy? If so, any ideas coming from that direction? [/QUOTE]
