In reply to Lexapro to 30mg or higher anyone?, posted by Peter S. on July 28, 2003, at 13:30:49

> I've been on Lexapro for about 7 weeks with not a lot of benefit. I increased to 20 mg last week and noticed a slight increase in mood, but now it seems to be dissipating. I'm wondering if others have gone beyond 20mg and whether this has worked.

Maybe Lex has the same effect- I've seen research that indicates that there isn't a whole lot of difference between 10 and 20mg, but it's such a new drug and there are so many individual differences about how people respond to meds.

> Hi Peter,
I am on Lexapro 30 mg and it did take this dosage to bring me out of my depression.
I am also on Effexor XR 140 mg and Lamictal 100mg.
I hope everything works out for you.
