[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 59722, member: 2423"] Both medications treat anxiety (and Lexapro also treats depression). Is that what the psychiatrist is treating? I have two kids on Lexapro. They are taking it for depression and anxiety in conjunction with the mood stabilizer Lamictal. We started low (2.5 mg) and raised the dose by 2.5 mg after several weeks. I hope your psychiatrist is going slowly because Lexapro can be activating. We've been told by our psychiatrists that Ativan is addictive so it should not be used over the long haul. Good luck with the new medications. [/QUOTE]
