[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 265934"] About 3 years ago difficult child was taking Lamictal for mood stabalizer and psychiatrist put him on Lexapro for anxiety. He was awake for a week!!!! Then gave him another to help sleep and he was all messed up. Since, he has been off Lamictal. He is doing ok I guess. Due to Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and so many, many anxiety fears he is trying Lexapro again. Instead of 10 mgs, we started with 1/2 pill...5 mgs. It has been a month now. Takes a while to build up I believe. I HAVE noticed less complaints about dying. Less complaints about aches and pains. He said he has had less headaches (use to be daily) Now it is about once a week, but more severe than before. As for side effects, haven't seen any that I am aware of. I know depression/suicide is a concern. He has been very quiet the past few days which is very unusual. However his friend died last friday in a car wreck and that could be the reason for his silence. difficult child suffers from depersonalization...I am desperately hoping the lexapro will help. So far he said that is the same. [/QUOTE]
