In reply to Lexapro Increase?, posted by njsurfer on April 22, 2005, at 11:25:05
I have been on Lexapro over 10 months. Lex started pooping out at around 7 months and I finally went to my pdoc in the 9th month for a possible increase from 30mg to 40mg, but instead he added Wellbutrin SR 150mg 2 times daily.
I noticed a difference in the first week. I had more energy and my depression was lifting. Now in the 10th month, I am still energetic, no longer wanting to sleep all the time and my depression is in check. Of course everyone reacts differently. Good luck.

> I have been on Lexapro since the end of january now. I have been taking 10mg and i thought it was working pretty well, yet i have felt my depression and anxiety creeping back in. I have gone through a lot of changes in the past few weeks, I have moved, i got a dog, and there are some extremely stressful situations going on at work. I have actually had to take some klonopin .25mg just to calm myself down the past week or so. Do you think it would be feasible to move my dosage up to 20 mg? I had an initial appointment to see a pdoc, but they moved it back another 2 months, so i am going to go see the Nurse practioner so i can atleast have some med management. Has anyone else needed to up their dose, and did it help at all....thanks
