In reply to Lexapro doses??, posted by Anti-Trust on January 7, 2004, at 16:04:18
20MG is the highest I've heard being prescribed, and only in exceptional cases. The manufacturer's studies have shown 10MG to be effective for people the drug can help.
I'd give Lexapro a good three or four months at 10MG before considering upping the dosage. Lexapro's subtle side effects, in my opinion, tend to disguise the potency of this drug. I think it's in the same league as Paxil: in other words, at the top of the heap.
