In reply to Re: Need advice!! Are High doses of Lexapro Safe?, posted by DMark on July 8, 2004, at 15:02:57
Thank, Dmark for responding to my post. I knew that 60mg of Lexapro was pretty high that is why I wanted to know others experiences. I am sorry to hear about your withdrawal symptoms.
If you don't mind me asking what are your withdrawal symptoms like. Because when I have tried to stop an SSRI in the past even with tappering. My head felt like it was going to explode. I felt tingling shock sensation in my head, just felt like I had a bad case of the flu, just felt sick. Was just wondering if it was me or did others experience the same symptoms. Another quick question (sorry for all the questions :) ) but did Lexapro help you feel any better or did it just not work.
I was also concerned about the serotonin syndrome occuring on such high doses of an SSRI. My pdoc is supposed to be one of the best. He has all kind of buildings dedicated to him where I live, but I am very weary about medication and like you stated it is a game of trial and error. So even the best of doctors are pretty much shooting in the dark when it comes to these meds. Anyway thanks for your input and I hope you began to feel better soon.
