Hey Scott, in my thread about my Lexapro dosage being too high you said this "I would think it more likely that your dose is too low. Instead of languishing for an extended period of time trying to finesse the dosage between 10 - 15 mg/day, perhaps you should do a quick experiment and go to 20 mg/day. I think your tiredness and irritability are the result of the breakthrough of the underlying illness. I could be wrong, but without knowing more about you, I would think it a possibility. Would your doctor allow you to go to 20 mg/day?"
What did you mean by my tiredness an irritability being the result if a breakthrough of my illness?
Sorry, this is my first time on any medication. I started having terrible anxiety about 4 months ago after my first daughter was born. I'm 28 and just trying to figure all this out. I guess I'm scared to try 20 bc I think that means I am really "i'll" and don't want to admit it.
Since dropping to 10 a couple days ago I have felt less tired but anxiety has been back up. Does the tiredness go away with time in these meds?
When I was 15 I think I was mistaking the tiredness, and physical agitation with anxiety. Plus I only gave the 15 4 weeks. I am going to speak with doc again today. Sorry I'd this random, I am typing from my phone. Thanks!!
