In reply to Survey: How much Lexapro do you use?, posted by Emily Elizabeth on September 15, 2004, at 19:21:22
I am currently on 30mg of Lexapro. I started at 10mg, increased to 20mg for 2 weeks and up to 30mg. I have been on it for 3.5 months and am depression free. It took 45 days to kick in. I also took Prozac for 7 years previously and I was Rxed 100mg which is 20mg greater than recommended max dose. Stopped Prozac because it pooped out.
