Hi,
I had heard that 40 mg is considered a maximum dose of Lexapro, just as 60 mg is considered the max for Celexa (Lex's sister so to speak!).
I guess I heard wrong since you said your doc was willing to push your dose up to 80 mg!
Thanks for mentioning nausea - I didn't know that this can be a side effect from high doses of Lex. I wouldn't want her to start having that on top of the suffering she's already going through which so far 30 mg of Lex does not seem to be helping.
By the way, just curious - about your posting name here - I am guessing you might be from France because I know that "sans vie" means without life in English, but what does the "Ame" mean?! Thanks, just curious.
