[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 103594, member: 3444"] My difficult child 1 has been taking Lexapro for about a year now and it's served him very well for controlling his anxiety. He has a severe needle phobia, and before Lexapro, I had to sedate him for blood draws or medical procedures with two Ativan tablets, and he would still get hysterical. After starting Lexapro, he only takes one Ativan, and there is absolutely NO drama with blood draws. In fact, this last time, he told me to wait in the lobby while he went in by himself! He said he thinks he could do with just 1/2 an Ativan now because he doesn't like how loopy he feels from it. I see this all as proof of the Lexapro's benefit. For myself, I've been on Norpramin (desipramine) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) for a number of years. It's also helping my depression. [/QUOTE]
