> Hello,

I was wondering if it would be safe to up my dosage of Lexapro to about 30 mg per day just for the next couple of weeks until I get through this time.

I'm currently at 30mg. I went from 20 to 30 with no se's. Pdoc told me I could go up on dose around *that time of the month* and cut back when things settled down. I would think you should be ok, but as always, you should discuss w/dr.

Congratulations and Good Luck!!!~~~8|8
