My 9 year old daughter has been on 10mg of Lexapro for 2+ years. I want her off of it but understand there can be significant withdrawal issues. Can you recommend a way forward to get her off of this drug?? I have reason to believe that her cortisol levels are high - initially from a traumatic past (she is an international adoptee) and have now learned that Lexapro can increase cortisol even further. I want to get her neuro-transmitters tested - but after she is off Lexapro - and find alternative ways to treat her.
