Lexapro - should I increase the dosage again?

Posted by ncwcgrl99 on December 15, 2003, at 10:25:18

Hi, I have been taking Lexapro (different dosages of course) for about 3 to 4 months. I started out on 10mg and then went up to 20mg and was stuck on that for a while. I was taking it with Ritalin because I have ADHD but I decided to stop taking the Ritalin because it was making my anxiety really bad. The main reason I am taking the Lexapro is because I have an anxiety problem and I am not allowed to take a real anti-anxiety medication (so my therapist says) because I have a drug problem and she thinks I will get hooked on the anti-anxiety meds real quick. Which is understandable. I just recently (2 weeks ago) started taking 30mg of Lexapro and it really made my anxiety better, but I have been feeling really really fatigued lately. I seem to have a hard time waking up in the morning for work and I seem to be dragging all day. Any advice on this. I was thinking about increasing my dosage to 40mg, because my doctor said that 40mg is as high as it goes, but I dont want to me tired all the time. Any advice would be great. Thanks
