In reply to Lexapro Increase?, posted by njsurfer on April 22, 2005, at 11:25:05
> 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
I have been on Lex 2+ years, started @5mg currently @40mg. Had trouble w/anxiety increasing during 4-5th weeks, but not since. Each time I increased I got good results. Pdoc said body *gets used* to dosage after a while and an increase may help. As always you should consult pdoc on these matters. Best of luck~~~8|8
