[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 50532, member: 2322"] With my oldest son, we started a half dose of Lexapro for a few days, the day we went to a full dose he was throwing chairs around his classroom which he had never never done. Clearly medication related. You would think we would have learned, but those were back in the good old days before I had researched much. He was put in baby doses a few months later of Prozac. That disinhibited him and required higher doses of Adderall to keep in check. That reaction happened pretty quickly too, but it wasn't as obvious. So in my humble opinion you could well be seeing a reaction to the SSRI. I think if it doesn't settle down shortly I would definitely think about d/c the drug. Lamictal has done a far, far superior job of addressing the depressive irritability issues that we were trying to address with Prozac. [/QUOTE]
