[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 149191, member: 2322"] jannie, when my son was on a small dose of Prozac (after he flipped out on Lexapro) we found we had to keep upping the stimulant to deal with the disinhibition caused by Prozac. We ended up tripling the dose of stimulant. We got a new psychiatrist who said he wasn't at all surprised with the medication reactions. He took him off the prozac ASAP. It sounds a bit as if the disinhibition needing more stimulant cycle imay be what is happening to your difficult child. When we d/c the anti depressant and went to Lamictal we were able to go back to the 5 mg dose of Adderall that my son was on. I would really urge you to discuss discontinuing the Lexapro and reduce the Vynase to a low level because too much can contribute to anxiety and then see what the Lamictal is doing. By the way, 5 mg of Lexapro is not a really small dose. Check, but I think 10 mg is a starting adult dose. P. [/QUOTE]
