Although 20mg is the maximum recommended by the manufacturer, some pdocs will prescribe higher doses when the potential for benefit outweighs the risk. Some research studies have used 50mg to treat severe OCD.
Glad to hear the Lexapro is helping your mood and that you're not having side effects. Best wishes finding an optimal dose.
> Just wondering if anyone benifited from doses of lexepro over 20 mg? 20 is listed as the max dose which is the amount im taking but it just doesn't quite seem to have enough kick to it.. i've been on every other ssri and similar with too many side effect problems.. lexepro is the first that has helped my mood and at the same time not caused any side effects at all.
