In reply to Advice Please!! Is 60mg of Lexapro to high?, posted by BRC on October 1, 2004, at 15:57:28
Lexapro is sometimes used at higher dose ranges for OCD (I am not sure about other problems). I take 30 mg for obsession-like thoughts, and was on 40 mg for a few weeks. I lowered back down to 30 mg because my insurance wouldn't pay for 40 mg.
And regarding the over-medication concern, I once said to my doctor that I was on a lot of meds when I was on 5 different medications. He responded, "Not by our standards." Now I am on six, and the side effects are less than when I was on two several years ago. So I wouldn't worry too much about being overmedicated.
