Can 30mgs, or raising doses, actually increase obsessive thoughts? I do know that raising doses can and does often increase anxiety.
I think 30mgs is too much for me right now. But sexual functioning is improving from the crossover from 60mg celexa.
Sleep wise; first night of 30mgs, did my regular wake up at 530 am w/ racing thoughts, but this time i was able to fall back asleep, a rarity.
Then i was to cross over to morning, so i skipped the next nights dose, and coincedentally, i slept beautifully.
Yesterday, took 30 in the morning, and i was up at about 7am w/ racing thoughts, not too bad.
For me, when i take the dose in the morning, derealization is increased very much, and it's difficult for me to eat. I notcie that i calm down around 8hrs later, which leads me to think of taking before bedtime.
My doctor, who is great, thinks i should be on 30mgs lexapro, but is ok w/ me giving 20 a trial. Plus, she does not care when i take it. In her experience, people on celexa, taking at night, seemed to do a little better.
Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Brian
