Lexapro for ADHD      

Lexapro works by increasing levels of serotonin, one of the neurotransmitter chemicals that carries messages between brain nerve cells.  There has been very little research on the effectiveness of Lexapro for those with ADHD, however it appears to treat coexisting depression and anxiety symptoms.

FDA Warnings

The FDA issued a public health alert for Lexapro in March 2004.  They warned that Lexapro can lead to more severe depression and possible suicide. The FDA recommends that health care providers warn patients, their families and their caregivers to be aware of the risks and be alert for agitation, irritability, suicide and worsening depression. Lexapro is not recommended for those who have experienced suicidal thoughts.

There is a highly effective treatment alternative to Lesapro

For over 35 years I have worked with ADHD children and their families. Having been an  ADHD child myself, I have a personal interest in this area.

Current explanations of the disorder never fit my experience or the children I saw. It always seemed contradictory that children who could not attend to school work could play computer games for hours, though both activities use the same areas of the brain. This stimulated years of  research and rethinking  of ADHD theory and treatment.  From this I developed my new (patented) and highly effective, drug free, Computer Aided Emotional Restructuring (CAER) treatment  and wrote my book, ADHD: A Path to Success to explain it. Learn how ADHD is not a defect, deficit or a disorder, but a highly skilled short-term defense mechanism that backfires in the long-run. Read more than 40 Amazon.com “customer reviews” of my book and treatment.   The most typical response when people read the book is “That makes so much more sense than anything else I have read”, “You describe my child exactly”.

It will empower you  an optimistic lens that will forever change how you see your child and his problems.
