In reply to 80 mg of LEXAPRO ... wow ... » Ame Sans Vie, posted by Janelle on August 2, 2003, at 18:40:26
Not from France, but you're right--"sans vie" is "without life". "Âme" means "soul"... so essentially, it means "lifeless soul". Uplifting, huh? lol Needless to say, this pseudonym was created before I was put on my current meds, which have completely "cured" me.
Also, regarding the max dose of Lex, it probably is 40mg, officially. In other words, that's probably what the FDA put forth as the maximum *recommended* daily dose. But my psychiatrist had sad she'd had another patient with severe OCD on 80mg and was willing to go at least that high with me. She mentioned that there was more and more nausea as his dose increased, though.
