[quote=Anonymous] My 13 year old DD's psychiatrist is being inflexible. He insists that he has never in the history of his practice seen withdrawal symptoms from discontinuing Lexapro. She has gone from 10 mg to 5 mg. After a week on 5 mg, she is experiencing great fatigue. I would like for her to stay at 5 mg for about 6 more weeks to stabilize. He would either like for her to quit cold turkey or to go back to 10 mg, because the fatigue must be a sign of "returning depression." (his words) We are now out of meds. It takes some time to get a new psychiatrist. What would you do? I'm really angry that he is not deferring to my mother's instinct at all. By the way, on the one day that she did take no medicine, she experienced nausea and awakened in the middle of the night (this awakening otherwise NEVER happens). [/quote]
