[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 110160, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm sorry for all you're going through. Just wanted to mention that SSRIs like Lexapro can activate kids with bipolar disorder. In fact, much of what you're seeing -- increased violence, aggression and homicidal ideation -- could be attributed to the Lexapro. You might want to ask the docs in charge of his case about weaning him from Lexapro. Geodon has also been known to have a paradoxical effect of activation in kids. He might need a second mood stabilizer and/or a different atypical antipsychotic to attain stability. I hope your son gets the help he needs. Again, welcome to the board. [/QUOTE]
