My son is 22 and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He's taking Lexapro 20 milligram but says he feels like he's taking Valium. I'm sure he doesn't mind that I see a positive change in his personality. He says what is exactly like Valium and I have researched it and I don't see anything like that. Could it just be affecting him that way? Thank you.
