Is lexapro one you can adjust yourself? I know in Zoloft I was told if I needed more I could cut one in half in order to take 1.5 pills for awhile to see if that helped. I think when I took lexapro I could do the same thing. Although that was to prevent migraines and I was decreasing the dosage so he told me to just take half. I just hate that you have to wait so long. Could your OB be more helpful? I don’t have an OB😞 I may increase it myself and could do a half pill extra a day and still make it to my refill date. I just want to double check it with the counselor. I would definitely recommend doing this...but I’m obviously not a dr. I just don’t want you to be miserable for the next few weeks. |

wedding what is your dosage? Mh took 5mg for awhile, but now he's on something new. I was on 10mg for the past few years and my doctor just upped me to 20. While yes, you should talk to your dr before permanently upping your dose, in the instances you can tell you need more, I would take the half extra.

I was on it many years ago and it was 20 and worked well. |
