[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 697561, member: 1963"] I take Lexapro's "kid brother" Celexa (citalopram) and at 40 mg it works for me. In fact, with my having bipolar, it seems to be one of the few anti-depressants I can tolerate. Whether or not it works for your son depends entirely on your son's physical makeup and whether or not he is fully compliant with taking it as scheduled. The physical part is a combination of liver enzymes needed to metabolize the drug, and how his brain's serotonin re-uptake system reacts to the drug. Anti-depressants work by blocking the re-uptake of serotonin, thereby having the net effect of more free serotonin to bind with receptors. [/QUOTE]
