Starting up with lexapro again

[Lena4039]

hi:) then I'm going to start on lexapro again and the doctor said I should spend four weeks on each dose increase. I will of course follow what the doctor says, but I just want to hear from the rest of you:) how long were you on the medicine before you increased from 5mg -10 mg, or 15-20 mg?:)

I went up relatively quickly when I took it; definitely less than four weeks at each level. I probably got up to the max dose in a month but I was under the care of a psychiatrist who I was seeing weekly which may have encouraged him to move up the doses quickly.

@mynameiscalypso thank you for your reply:) yes, I think it is a little too slow. It will take forever to work x)
