Thinking of lowering Lexapro dose...

Posted by brynb on October 11, 2012, at 15:27:24

I'm reading (here and other places) that 10 mg is the therapeutic dose for Lexapro, and that 20 mg doesn't do much else other than worsen side effects.
It's been my consistent AD for years, and I don't know anymore if I'm having side effects or just symptoms of depression. I'm extremely lethargic. Would it be beneficial to lower my dose from 20 to 10 mg? I'm also on lithium and just started Lamictal.
Any input is much appreciated!
