[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 23571, member: 1498"] Lexapro is neither approved nor recommended for use by children and adolescents. No studies on its use by children or adolescents have been made public that I am aware of, however, the studies on Celexa -- the drug from which Lexapro is dervive -- found Celexa to be neither safe nor effective for children and adolescents. Ten mg of Lexapro is the recommended dose for adults -- the range is 10-20 mg though the studies have found no better results from the 20 mg. I'm with smallworld on this -- if you are going to try Lexapro, it should have been a much smaller dose and not added at the same time the Lamictal was increased. Lamcital can also cause nausea. My son always had minor stomach upsets when he had an increase in Lamictal. Oh, and Lamicatal can cause sleeplessness for a few hours after taking it. My son found that he did better if he took his entire dose when he awoke in the morning. He did that even when he was taking 400 mg. [/QUOTE]
