[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 225062, member: 2423"] Lexapro and Celexa are both SSRI antidepressants (closely related in chemical composition). Both treat anxiety [I]and[/I] depression. Prozac is the only AD that is FDA-approved for the treatment of depression in children ages 8 and up. Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox and the tricyclic Anafranil are the only ADs that are FDA-approved for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children. Strattera is FDA-approved for the treatment of ADHD in children ages 6 and up. To correct another misconception: A bad reaction to a stimulant or an AD does not a bipolar diagnosis make. Some kids just have a bad reaction or "activation" from theese medications, but do not have the hallmark symptoms of bipolar disorder apart from their bad medication reaction. [/QUOTE]
