Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi all, I'm a lurker here, I've been taking lexapro for about 3 mths. I'm taking 10 mg. It was keeping my temper in check, but now I find its starting to spark a bit too much. I upped myself to 15 mg (or what I would consider 15mg) 1 1/2 tablets and it seemed to help the day I did that. I'm thinking of trying to up it for a while, is 15 mg a normal dosage? Or do/will I need to go to 20mg?

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi Tina, I'm glad to see that an extra 1/2 dose helped you so quickly. It did for me too when I was going through a very stressfull time. However, I had gotten a post from someone who had talked to their doc. about it and they said that it doesn't work that fast. I guess there are two of us now that can say it does. Is there anybody else who has responded to a Lex. increase that fast? ak --- monkynbear@... wrote: > Hi all, I'm a lurker here, I've been taking lexapro > for about 3 mths. I'm > taking 10 mg.
