> Mariposa, I hope you don't take offense to this but I think your doctor is not very knowledgable. After hundreds of posts over the years, this is the first time I berated a doctor. I can't believe he told you that he would not prescribe more than 10 mg of Lexapro.

Thanks for the input and concern....but actually I seem to be doing well at 10mg for the time being.
Good luck to us all!
