[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 44022, member: 2423"] Kjs, medications for difficult child 1 (120 pounds): Lamictal 200 mg; Lexapro 5 mg medications for difficult child 2 (61 pounds): Lamictal 125 mg; Lexapro 7.5 mg difficult child 2 is stable. We're still tweaking medications for difficult child 1 (he's still depressed). In both cases, we started Lexapro at 2.5 mg and increased the dose by 2.5 mg after a couple of weeks. Lexapro comes in 5 mg tablets, and we use a pill splitter to cut the pills in half. in my humble opinion, 10 mg Lexapro is too high a starting dose. It sounds to me as if the 10 mg Lexapro was causing hypomania in your difficult child. A lower dose might be better. Because Lexapro CAN cause sleeplessness, especially at the beginning, our psychiatrists told us to give it in the morning. [/QUOTE]
