Today I increased my dose from 5 mg's to 10'mgs of Lexapro.
I am on Day 1 of the increase, and Day 63 of Lexapro in total.
Because I myself have questioned what an increase would feel like I decided that I woul restart my Lexapro posting for those of you who also question the idea if a medicine increase.
If you have come across this post looking for the start up effects of Lexapro please check out my previous postings.(links to be added)
The minimum therapeutic dose of Lexapro is 10 mg's and because I tolerated the 5 well and it had started to help my dose was increased. The Lexapro as drastically changed my life for the better and it has helped tremendously in my recovery. I have did mor in the past 3 months of medicinal treatment than I have in 5 years of trying to cope by myself.
Please note that I am nt a Dr. And do not claim to be, I am just a patient and someone that would like to share my experiences with others that are going thru a battle of depression and or anxiety. My experiences will vary from yours so please do not expect the same results.
Day 63: (Day 1 of Increased Dose)
So far I have noticed nothing but tiredness and a slight spaced out feeling, however I CAN NOT contribute this to the medicine ncrease because I had a long night. Other than that everything seems t be normal.
