My 12 yo daughter has ADHD and some anxiety and depression. The Dr put her on 20mg Adderall xr and 10mg lexapro for four weeks and suddenly she started getting aggitated and sad. Do the meds just stop working? This isn't her first med but better than the last. Any suggestions on what to do? Can't see Dr until next week.

The dosing may need to be adjusted. My son is on Adderall XR, and we've had to tweak it a bit. I don't have experience with The other medication though. ☹️ Can you email your doctor with questions? I've done that and our doctor was able to make any adjustments needed without having to go back in.
