[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 421436"] Yes, I would start looking there for a neuropsychologist. I would definitely tell the psychiatrist that you INSIST that your difficult child be weaned off the Lexapro, and maybe the rest also. Because 2 of the medications were started at the same time, it will be hard to tell which one is causing the increase in behaviors. It is very possible for kids to have paradoxical reactions to medications. My son "got high" when we tried him on Adderall for his ADHD and Risperdal actually made him psychotic. Giving him Benadryl to help with sleep had him bouncing off the walls for 3 hours. Tread lightly with medications. Some psychiatrists (like the one we used to have) won't change anything until it is DEMANDED of them. YOU are the parent. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
