[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 74881, member: 2423"] Some kids are just born anxious -- two of mine were. There is no WHY. There are other ways to get at the anxiety and depression, but you have to have a psychiatrist who's willing to work with you to make things better. As I recall, your psychiatrist started your difficult child at 10 mg. That is too high to start. My kids both started at 2.5 mg and we raised it after 3 weeks at that dose. A is now on 7.5 mg and J is now on 10 mg. But maybe Lexapro is not the right medication for your son. For what it's worth, I've recently been told that both Wellbutrin and Cymbalta might be good choices for kids with BiPolar (BP). [/QUOTE]
