Looking for input from someone who has put their child on Lexapro. ADHD/GAD and unmedicated (for now). Psych is recommending we do a small dose of Lexapro to help with general anxiety and nighttime anxiety. Success stories preferably. I'm still co-sleeping with a 9yo here 🫩 Please tell me Lexapro will be worth it. - From a mama who is torn on medication, thanks!

Hi, my 9 year old is on fluoxetine (Prozac) since march and it has definitely been helpful. He has a rare genetic disorder, dyspraxia and mild I’d. School related anxiety. Most likely adhd. He is on a low dose but I do feel it helps somewhat.
also still co-sleeping
