[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 132628, member: 1233"] I am sorry he is having a hard time. I don't know what lexapro will do with his behavior. It would be a good idea to ask what your other alternatives are. I know that SSRI medications like prozac and lexapro are sometimes a bad thing for people with mood disorders to take - it can cause cycling. I believe that there is a type of bipolar disease that happens AFTER SSRI's are used. on the other hand, your difficult child #2 is taking lexapro. If it is helping him, then it might help his bro. While this is NOT carved in stone, if other family members are on a medication, then the chance of side effects is considered lower and the potential for help is considered higher. I would as a few more questions, esp if you are unsure. Often we have seen that people with mood disorders need more than one mood stabilizer medication, and sometimes an antipsychotic also. Hugs, this is a tough decision. Susie [/QUOTE]
