I have taken ritalin myself. The initial feeling of "calm" is good but it doesn't last that long and the crash is very bad.

I know many people are against kids on meds, but I honestly believe that if I had had ADs as a young adult my life would have been much better. (Just my two cents on that one.)

One thing to consider: There are various time-release forms of ritalin that don't give you that up-crash thing. I believe that Concerta is one such, and there are others as well. If the Lexapro doesn't work out, you might want to look into those.

Peace and good wishes
