Hello again -- I haven't posted a message in many months. Began 10 mg. of Lex in October with nausea first day and a rough couple of weeks but then I began feeling much less anxious and really pretty good. But lately I'm feeling anxious again, sort of like before, and think I need to increase my dose. I realize 10 mg. isn't very much. I'm seeing my doctor on Monday and expect he will say 15 mg is okay, but I'd like to go up by increments, maybe 12.5 to begin with because I'm afraid of having nausea side effects and headaches again. Or maybe it's best to go right to 15 and tough it out for a few days? Someone said earlier that one's liver has probably adjusted to the Lexapro by this time and side effects will be less with increased increments than with initial dose. Advice and experiences are welcome. Please!
