Re: lexepro effective over 20mg

In reply to lexepro effective over 20mg, posted by mav27 on October 11, 2008, at 7:28:55

I noticed a big improvement in my mood when I went from 10 mg to 20 mg...and then again when I went from 20 mg to 30 mg. There was a slight improvement when I went from 30 mg to 40 mg.

After being on 40 mg for about 8 months, I started getting very depressed again and we upped my dose to 60 mg. I am lucky in that I generally don't suffer from many side effects, but it did not help with my depression at all. My guess is that Lexapro 'pooped out' after I had been on it for about a year and a half total (this is fairly typical for me).

I am pretty sure that I had to get my doctor to pre-authorize any dose higher than 20 mg with my insurance company but I'm glad I did - I definitely found a higher dose to be effective, at least for awhile.
