Lexapro in kids?

So, I was seeing a 15 yo boy admitted for cellulitis to peds floor, in the consult service who was prescribed Lexapro by his outpatient physician for anxiety. We were consulted for evaluation of his anxiety during day time. Very tiny dose of 10 mg. His mom didn't get it for him yet because they were worried about side effects. I definitely feel he would benefit from the medication but I have not seen it used to much in younger kids. I would rather just go with Prozac for the longer half... Lexapro in kids?
