[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 59902, member: 45"] My difficult child takes Lexapro for anxiety and rigid thinking. It has seemed to work for him. We have taken him off of it a couple of times and it was not good at all. I also took Lexapro for a while and it was the best I ever felt (I was diagnosed with mild, chronic depression a while back). The only reason I'm not taking it is because we can't afford it. If there's a chance there's bipolar or other mood disorders you just need to keep an eye out - ADs can cause mania and/or suicidal thoughts in some people. My difficult child may have bipolar (undiagnosed but they are re-evaluating him for it right now) and neither Lexapro nor Zoloft cause mania or suicidal thoughts. If I remember right, difficult child was really tired for about a month when he started Lexapro, but that went away. He had tics with zoloft, but nothing with Lexapro. Linda [/QUOTE]
