In reply to What's with this 'magical' Lexapro 20 mg dose crap, posted by McPac on January 24, 2004, at 14:39:47
Hi McPac,
This is the first time I've heard of lexapro referred to as a "single dose" med. My pdoc started me at 10 mg and said I could increase if I needed to, but I've found that 10 mg is ample so far.
There are people on this board who take less than 10 mg (some people are comfortable at 5 mg or 2.5 mg) and many people who post here take higher than 20 mg (I've met several who are on 30 mg and one person has a dose as high as 100 mg).
Even my pharmacist said that he's seen lexapro prescribed at a range of doses. Best of luck to you in finding the right one.
K.
