In reply to pharmrep , a question about Lexapro dosage, posted by johnnylex on September 28, 2002, at 18:13:37
> I started on 10mg Lexapro about 2 weeks ago. Prior to this I was taking 150mg of Effexor, which was adequetly relieving my anxiety and depression, but had unwelcome side effects.
>
> I am pleased that I feel no side effects with Lexapro, but I am not feeling much in the way of anxiety/depression relief with it. Is it time to ask my doctor about trying a higher dosage? How long should I give this?** good q...glad you are experiencing better tolerability...here's the scoop. lexapro 10mg works in 1-2 weeks for most people, but as i have found, that's only a general statement to most here...for a fair trial, give it 3-4 weeks, if still not doing it, bump to 15mg for a couple weeks, then only higher if still not quite working.
