Kara,
We just returned from a consult with a specialist in Philadelphia at U of Penn for our teen who said to add low dose Seroquel (chose this over Risperdal because of weight gain issues) to her Lexapro. She has ADD, anxiety, social phobia and dysthymia and the Dr. said that the Seroquel will help "even" things out. Abilify is another one to look at. Lex helps somewhat, but was not enough. The Dr. said that at low doses, there's not much problem with the side effects of the atypical neuroleptics that everyone worries about. Good luck to you!
