In reply to Re: LEXAPRO 7.5mg QUESTION, posted by JaneB on April 3, 2003, at 9:53:15
The doctor said 40mg was considered the lowest thp'tic dose (you know that line, I'm sure). I am also taking 5-10mg Valium daily and I think he was hoping the extra Celexa was help get rid of the Valium. I am working on that myself. This Lexapro doesn't seem to be working well. I have only used it now 3 days. From reading all the talk back and forth on this thread between the "pharmrep" and "drdave" there definately seems to be some dispute regarding the equivalent effect of mg between the 2 drugs. I wonder what "drbob's" opinion would be on that. I may go back to the Celexa. I'm also having hot flashes and nausea with the lex. I was hoping it was a dosing issue vs the drug itself. The Celexa has caused some unwanted (but not excessive) weight gain. Thanks! 88ivories
