In reply to Warning Lexapro or Abilify, posted by Daniel J. on August 28, 2003, at 9:08:17
Hey---Scary story here--our 15 year old son has been on Lexapro [first 10 mg] now 20 mg for about 4 months...MONDAY [October 20] appointment with the Psychiatrist...Doc says he shows schizo traits and puts him on Abilify 15mg...by today, Friday, he's having restlessness + sleepiness + neck and face tremors!!!!!!! Think this is NOT right and think its outlandish.
Any comments???????????
Postscript: Our son was depressed and being rebellious-I think [his dad] that its mainly 50% teen angst--just don't know about a Psychiatrist taking him in for 30 minutes and determining he's schizo--we are scared parents [there is a history of depression in my family]BTW I was doing a websearch and came across this post of Daniel J. on Psycho-Babble from August 28---I'll also post this in the newer area
