[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 105465, member: 2423"] We've been told by our psychiatrists that SSRI antidepressants like Lexapro can cause impulsivity and compulsions as a side effect. While taking Prozac last spring, easy child/difficult child 3 pierced her own ear -- highly unusual for an 8-year-old and attributed to impulsive/compulsive behavior. Because of that episode and some intense raging this fall, we are in the process of weaning her from Prozac and are still trying to settle on what her next AD will be. My other thought is not that your difficult child 1 is emulating your husband, but rather has inherited a tendency toward compulsive and addictive behavior. Just something to ask the psychiatrist/therapist about. Hope things settle down in your household soon. [/QUOTE]
