In reply to last call! 20 or 30 mg of lexapro????????, posted by qbsbrown on July 5, 2006, at 20:46:52
It is a tough call. I don't think you'll seee difference in sexual side effects, from my own experience, but let's hope so. Pretty damn discouraging.
The problem, as I see it, is that if you start at 20 mg-your point is well taken-not only might you lose the benefits of the AD, they might not come back by increasing to 30 mg. OTOH, you give yourself a better chance of decreasing the sexual side effects at 20 mg.
Probably if you start at 20 mg, you'll see a difference in sexual side effects within days (my own experience)-if things aren't better, might as well go to 30 mg. Maybe try 150 mg Wellbutrin to counter the side effects if this doesn't work (?) Just a couple thoughts..
Best of luck!
