[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 132790, member: 2423"] I have kids younger than yours, but we have very conservative psychiatrists and always start lower than recommended. When my kids trialed Lexapro, we started them at 2.5 mg (a 5 mg tablet split in half). When my daughter M trialed Prozac, she started at 2 mg (it comes in liquid). Because you never know how someone will react to any medication, there is never any reason to start high and increase rapidly unless there is a psychiatric emergency. [/QUOTE]
