[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 544479, member: 3493"] My advice - let her stay on the Lexapro without the talk therapy for a while longer. You say there's a noticeable improvement. Maybe in time she will improve to the point where she IS willing to engage in talk therapy. In the meantime, the medicine is helping so why take it away? Let it do its work alone. The alternative is a return to the unhappy child she was before Lexapro. Some people are not talk therapy people. One reason I've had such a hard time trying to push difficult child in talk therapy is that I myself am a hater of it. When we did marriage counseling, I left each session feeling twice as bad as when I went in. When my doctor gave me Lexapro (ironically), I felt so much better that I was able to quit therapy. I'm not advocating that Diva never try to deal with her issues in talk therapy, just that you put less pressure on her about it. Threatening to take away a medication that is helping her may not be the best way to help her at this point. Just my 2 cents - feel free to disregard. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
