Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 My pdoc just boosted me from 10 to 20 mg a day. I must say that 10 (for 2 months)hasn't done much. Has anyone else been suceessful upping the dose after no effects(good or bad)? I've heard that increasing the dose doesn't really work from some quarters. I hope that talking with those on the front lines will yeild more trustworthy info. Thanxxx in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I have been on Lex since August 2003. I climbed up to 15 milligrams and all the sides came out in a gush. I am climbing down and going past 10 milligams to 5 milligrams. My anxiety, panic, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, sweating and tremor are decreasing as well. It is all still there but more on a manageable level and does not impact my daytime activities. Dana Rose > > My pdoc just boosted me from 10 to 20 mg a day.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Sorry I have not heard of good effects or bad effects. I am confused--are you on 20mg per day now for 2 months and no change or 10 mg for 2 months with no change and was just uped to the 20 mg...How long were you on the 20 mg per day? I am one of those individduals that does not tolrate SSRI's (I get increased anxiety, increased obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms and panic) so I am on the liquid form and at 1.5ml=mg every three days hoping that I will tolerate it. If I find any research or data I will forward it to you regarding the Lexapro at 20 mg.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hi; Sorry to hear about the negative effects at 15mg's...Hope you are feeling better now. I can't even tolerate 5mg, so I feel that I am stuck in Obsessive compulsive Disorder (OCD) land here with 1.5ml(mg) every three days. I get all the sides particulary the anxiety, panic, terror, shakes and increases in my OCD. I am told that we have to go up very,very slowly. I just want to feel better--tht is anxiety free again... >From: " danarose1950 " <danarose1950@...> >Reply-Lexapro >Lexapro >Subject: Re: higher doses >Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2004 16:17:08 -0000 > >I have been on Lex since August 2003.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I was on 10mg then 20 then 30!! I had bad sides (Insomnia, increased anxiety, double vision) on any dose above 10mg and weaned myself back down to 10 over a 3 week period where the sides are again minor (mostly affects my vision) Jeff > My pdoc just boosted me from 10 to 20 mg a day.
