sunburnt22 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 my doc wants me to increase my lexapro from 10 to 20 mgs. but as i understand it, the literature says doses above 10 mg had no increased benefit, and you know the drug company would love to list it if there was, so there must REALLY have been no evidence. what do people think? who's had DEFINITE improvement increasing lexapro to above 10 mgs?

Velvet Elvis Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Why are you taking it? check out rxlist. 20 mgs is the max dose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imfinethanksfornotasking Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 My sister saw no benefit from 10 mg but at 20 mg it controlled her OCD symptoms. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I was on 40 mg. lex for a period of 15 months and it seemed to help my depression. Finally lowered it because of the sexual side-effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb252 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I was on 40 mg for a little while. I didn't notice anything until I went up to 40. Studies are only guidelines... what really matters is what your brain and a drug do in theirr own little dance together. jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyflower Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The Lexapro information sheet now says that your doctor may increase your dose to 20 mgs after at least one week at 10 mgs. Also, it comes in a 20 mg tablet. Greeny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
