Hi Bride2be,
I know a lot of people start at 5 mgs and increase to 10 mgs a few weeks later. There are even some people on this board who only take 5 mgs because they've had such great results with the small dose.
Starting at a lower dose gives your body more time to adjust to the medication. You won't experience as many side effects. If I had to do it over again, I would start out on Lex at 5 mgs instead of 10 mgs.
Is the Lexapro making you angry or were you angry before taking it? I was angry before taking Lexapo and it has helped me quite a bit.
