Hi Mrs. C. -
I understand how you feel. I was reluctant to increase too. But, my s/e's were not bad at all and only lasted 10 days or so! I was a little nauseous and spacey - but not to the extent AT ALL that I was at first - not all the time and not every day. After 9 weeks on 20mg, my anxiety, sadness & anger are about 90% gone - even the week before my period - I only had about 2 "episodes" that week (which was week 8).

Your posts indicate that you are experiencing increased anxiety and unhappiness. You are such a wonderful, caring and articulate person and so great to hear from each day. I hate seeing you suffer any more than you have to! Go up to 20 mg and see what happens. Alternating doesn't seem right for some reason, like you'll confuse your brain or something!

I bet it will help you! It may take a couple of weeks to get readjusted, but we are here for you! Let us know what you decide.

Hey you guys, I am supposed to start taking 20mgs as of yesterday. I took 10 last night and I am terrified to start 20. I know the sooner I do it the sooner I will feel better but I am so afraid of the increased anxiety I felt when first beginning Lex. Were your side effects less extreme when increasing to 20? My doc said that I could alternate between 10 and 20 at first so I may try that. She said increasing to 15 probably wouldn't help for long. That is what I wanted to do. Maybe I should do that anyway until I feel comfortable. I dont know. I am confused. Help! Mrs. C
