Not surprised with the 40-60 mg of Lexapro, or higher than noraml used doses of any SSRI. I had a doc who's reasoning was that SSRI's are so non-toxic that you can take any dose that works for you. Of course then there is the issue of side effects. I went from 20 mg of Lexapro to 30 mg and had all the side effects in the world; which was too bad, because Lexapro was such a good AD for me. At 30 mg, I found a slice of pizza much more appealing than any woman in the world. :>} Best of luck...looks like you are coming to a decision on this issue.
