[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 101644, member: 2322"] I just wanted to relate our experience. Our son started stealing and had one incident of fire starting after he started taking Prozac. It was not dramatic, Prozac one day, behaviors the next, but it was linked. Once we stopped the Prozac, these behaviors totally disappeared. We got a new psychiatrist after the Prozac experience. the psychiatrist explained to us that SSRIs can lead to disinhibition. That was exactly what we found. We needed to raise the amount of Adderall my son was one to give him more control over his impulses. When we d/c the Prozac we were able to go back to the lower level of Adderall. We have found Lamictal to be a far far superior way of addressing my son's depression. Anyway, I am not sure this relates to your situation, but since I notice he is on Lexapro I would want to be really sure it isn't contributing to his problems. we did the usual things when the behaviors emerged--make him return and apologize things he stole, we didn't allow him to go into certain stores, etc. I am not sure whether this stuff helped, but the problem seems to be totally gone now.
