In reply to 30 mg of LEXAPRO??, posted by Janelle on August 2, 2003, at 14:23:18
Hi there. Never posted here before, but saw the question & thought I'd share my shock at the high doses of Lexapro that people referred to! I was on 30mg also, and had major mania symptoms, as I am bipolar. But when I consulted other dr's & pharmacists to see if it was due to the lexapro, they all told me that 30mg was far too high a dose for anyone to be on & that they were surprised a pharmacist would even fill that high a dose. One of my dr's even said that anything over 20mg is considered an overdose by the manufacturers themselves. So I guess I would just be cautious as to any side effects that arise.
