In reply to Lexapro Poop-out..would an increase help?, posted by almondjoy on November 18, 2003, at 3:07:55
I agree with Linkage that folate might help. You could take a multivitamin.
If that doesn't do it, you should increase your dose to 30 mg. I have been on 20 mg Lex for 12 months. I may increase to 30 soon. The 20 only lasts about 20 hours, then the effect diminishes. The most economical way to increase is to take 1 and 1/2 20mg pills. (instead of a 10mg pill and a 20mg pill).
> From what I've been reading I think lex is pooping out. i started it maybe 3 months ago, the first couple weeks on 10mg were good, then i started to feel more like before i started so at one month pdoc increased to 20mg...the s/e returned but i felt great for a month or so. then i noticed my anxiety coming back, and moodiness etc. i feel almost like im not even taking it anymore. even though 30 isnt a typical dosage would that help...i mean, maybe we just never hit the right dose but it could just be its not for me....humh i dunno
