In reply to Lexapro, highest dose?, posted by chess on April 26, 2005, at 17:48:54

My daughter took Lexapro a couple of years ago, and I think she may have gotten up to around 40mg. She was depressed, and had a bit of a binge eating problem, and her doctor said that it takes a higher dosage of Lexapro to work for those two problems together. Your doctor should know what is best for you, and I wouldn't worry about going higher at this point. She did quit taking it, and started Wellbutrin because at a higher dosage, it did cause her to start to gain weight. (She was binge eating, so that may have been it also?) Don't panic!!!! Please. Lexapro is suppose to be weight neutral. I do know that she felt MUCH better when the doctor did increase her dosage. Good luck.-L
