Anxiety
"My daughter (age 12) tried Lexipro for severe anxiety (school refusal etc.)  The Lexipro made her hallucinate black blobs and become  depressed in addition to anxious.  The root of her problem was ADD/Dyspraxia and a Reading Disorder that led to numerous negative school experiences.  After researching different medications, her PCP and I zoned in on Trazodone to help her sleep and relax.   It changed my daughter&#039;s life.  This med, in addition to a nurturing and small private school has made a huge difference.  She&#039;s not only functional but she is happy--no more meltdowns--and she thrives socially and academically.  (She is 100 lbs and takes 1.5 tablets each night.)"
