Lexapro - 10mg vs. 20mg - please comment

Posted by Okpolosi on April 27, 2003, at 16:25:57

I started at 5mg, went to 10mg after 4 weeks, am now into 3rd month.

I have started to notice my symptoms returning (aggitation and episodes of RAGE) though not as severe as they used to be.

Is it possible I am "getting used to" Lex, so it's not working as well as it was?

Will increasing to 20mg give relief again?

Any comments, observations, personal experiences, etc. would be most appreciated.

THANKS TO ALL!!

I agree with Ayuda. Try 15 mg for a week or 2. Then go up to 20 if needed. (of course let doc know). I have taken 20 mg for over 6 months with great success. Some people take 30 mg.

Thanks for your help, I kind of knew what you are saying, just wanted some confirmation to convince myself.

Good luck to us all.
