[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 149116, member: 2322"] Jannie, I had a anxious, depressed, but silly kid. The doctor put him on Lexapro. It was a disaster. he started turning over desks. Another doctor tried Prozac. It made him very disinhibited (stealing, fire-setting, impulsive, very silly). We then got a psychiatrist who knew something about mood disorders. After a trial of Trileptal (which had bad effects) we tried Lamictal. It really helped the depression. But he was off all anti-depressants. We kept the Adderall because it helped tremendously, and we saw that because he was first on Adderall and only Adderall, but alone it had some nasty side effects. I would really really question your psychiatrist about keeping your kid on both lamictal and lexapro. Why don't you see what Lamictal does by itself? Have you ever tried a stimulant by itself? Did it have good effects? good luck P. PS after all the bad experiences we went very slow on Lamictal, 12.5 increase a week, which is much lower than recommended, but made me feel more comfortable and we had no side effects. [/QUOTE]
