Hi ladies,
Hope you're all feeling happy today. In June I started 5mg of Lexapro (escitalopram) and increased to 10mg after 3 weeks. I have now been on it for nearly 9 weeks, and in the last 2 weeks I felt better....happier, calmer, better sleep, less obsessive behavior.
I have also been attending therapy and my therapist said she saw the difference in me in the past few weeks. However, I am now wondering should I increase my dosage to take the next 'edge' off my anxiety and see if I'll have further improvement. I have found the past few days I am down again, a little anxious, a little sad so I'm a bit disappointed.
Any advice on whether it's a good idea to try 15mg or just enjoy the mild improvement? My doctor is very much leaving it up to me to make the decision
