Escitalopram question

Hi! I recently dropped my dose to 12.5mg thinking I’d feel better as I started getting anxiety 4 weeks into 15mg. Anyway after 2 week’s felt bad again and decided to go back to 15mg and on first day felt immediately better. Is this a good or bad sign? It doesn’t feel like placebo

If you're feeling better I'd take it as a win iv been on escitalopram for years and it is a really good drug

Thank you! What dose are you on? Did you need to increase?

I'm on 30 now but that's quite unusual as I think the max dose is 20 but iv been on it 10+ years I think I started at 10 and went up over the years
