[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 253771, member: 3444"] Lexapro helped difficult child 1's anxiety tremendously. He can now manage blood draws with no extra support (or drama), and before he absolutely panicked and made himself sick over it. BUT, given your difficult child's history on it, I don't think it's something you should mess with. It can activate some people (my mom felt the same way your difficult child did when she took Celexa, which I think is Lexapro's cousin). Perhaps he would do better on a tricyclic? I've done better on that form of AD for my anxiety than I did on an SSRI. And the side effects eventually got better with time (dry mouth, sweating, drowsiness, etc.) [/QUOTE]
