[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 43034, member: 2423"] Kjs, I'm not saying your son can definitely tolerate antidepressants, but your psychiatrist started at too high a dose to know if it would be helpful. Our psychiatrist started at 2.5 mg Lexapro and moved up to 5 mg after 3 weeks (we may need to go higher, but slow and steady is the best method with these medication-reactive kids). In addition, Lamictal sometimes is dosed at higher than 200 mg for kids. There may be circumstances exacerbating what's going on with your difficult child, but I do think he may need more careful attention paid to his medications. [/QUOTE]
