Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hey all My daughter started Lexapro last week. Does anyone know if it is normal to have your child be really tired and crabby all day from it? Does it get better or does that mean we need to try another SSRI? My daughter is doing great on it though. Right away she is much more " with us " .

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 My son has Lyme disease with possible Autism. He takes long term Biaxin and Doxycycline. He also takes Valtrex. When he started the Lexapro he was all over the place with moods...the doctor then checked his Serotonin level which Lexapro is dependent on to work. His Serotonin was so low it did not even register. He put him on 5 HTP from Pure Encapsulated. The Lexapro works great now. I hope this helps. Lexapro Hey all My daughter started Lexapro last week.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 , We started Lexapro the beginning of December and my son (3 yrs old) had a very similar reaction. He was also very agitated and very, very stimmy. We hadn't changed anything else. After talking to Dr. , we stopped taking it. We will probably start something different after our next phone consult. Had blood work done and waiting for results. RaDonna > > Hey all > > My daughter started Lexapro last week.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm not but I highly doubt Dr. G did this. Dr. G does not test seratonin levels (I asked a long time ago). Testing seratonin levels does not tell you how much is in the brain, which is where he is most concerned, it only tests how much is in the blood. In order to know how much is in the brain, you have to test CSF and no doctor will do that just to see. I have no idea how Dr. G would respond to having levels so low in the blood it wouldn't register but I doubt he would test to begin with.
