When I tried Lex several months ago when it was the hot new SSRI, the doc just said start with 10mg, with this one you just start at that dose and no major side effects. Well after 6-8 weeks, I had to drop out because of continued nausea, stiff neck and tiredness. My pdoc talked me into tryin it again and start with just 2.5mg for 5 days then 5mg for ten days and if I feel the need, go to 10mg. Just made the jump to 5mg and still no nausea or tiredness, just a little agitation but nothing like before. Seems like Forest would label Lex's sample packs with new info stating dosage options, I bet there would be a lot lower drop out rate. There's actually info showing Lex to have a higher percent responders at 5mg and 20mg than 10mg for anxiety at 4 weeks and even 12 weeks. Kinda strange??
