[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 299844, member: 2423"] Andy, psychiatric medications are typically dosed by clinical response. You're looking for that "sweet spot," where the child feels a remission of symptoms without feeling too energized, if that makes any sense. The range for Celexa I gave is for adults, but you know from the adult range that 15 to 20 mg would be fine for a child. For 3 years my own daughter, who now weighs 80 pounds, has been taking 7.5 mg Lexapro, which is roughly the equivalent of 15 mg Celexa (their close cousins). See how the 15 mg goes and talk the psychiatrist. You may be fine at that dose. When I resonded earlier, I didn't realize you had already updated your signature to reflect the dosing increase.
