[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 265689, member: 1550"] I've been on a lot of SSRI's and have been on the same one now for over fifteen years. Lexapro and all SSRIs take up to six weeks for full effect. You can have all sorts of side effects (I did on Prozac and Zoloft) and they can start at any time. The biggest thing to watch for is the child getting manicky--hyper, angry, overwound, unable to sleep, even violent at the most extreme. Or to say she is restless or nervous. What can make us better can also make us worse. I've been trying medications since age 23 and I'm 55 now so I'm pretty experienced. I wouldn't worry about the fatigue. After being on Paxil since age forty, it still makes me tired after I take my dose at night. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
