[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 48258, member: 2423"] We recently had a second-opinion consultation with a child psychiatrist/researcher at NIMH in Bethesda, MD. His areas of special interest and expertise are childhood anxiety, bipolar disorder and psychopharmacology. He said there are three common bad reactions to SSRIs: impulsivity that occurs almost immediately and happens sporadically (related to dose and/or the medication chosen); hearing sounds or seeing things that aren't there (related to the medication and disappear when the medication is discontinued); and manic reactions that occur at about the 3-week mark and go on continuously (which need to be treated as if the patient has bipolar disorder). I'm guessing that what you're reported is related to Lexapro (second guess would be Trazadone), but the only way you're going to know for sure is to wean your daughter from one medication at a time to see if the problem clears up. One other thought: Anticonvulsants like Depakote and Lamictal can cause word-retrieval problems, but what you're reporting doesn't really sound as if that is the problem. [/QUOTE]
