Lexapro and upping it.

I've been on Lexapro for a few months now, I started at a small dose of 5 mg's I am now up to 15mg, I know I should up it to 20 mg's this week, but it seems like as soon as I get over the feeling bad when my dose is increased, it is time to up it again.

I don't have another appointment with my Psychiatrist for a couple of months, so I know I have a few months to be on the 20 mg's so that is a plus knowing it won't be upped any time soon.

The biggest plus that I have noticed from using Lexapro is that I don't tend to sit around and continually worry about really silly things, I kind have that "oh well" attitude, I explained it to my doctor as kind of numb which he said can be normal for a while.

I hope I continue to see improvements with the medication, I am supposed to start therapy as soon as a therapist has an opening, that may help me understand some of the underlying issues that cause such sever anxiety, plus I have PSTD and a touch of OCD(I say a touch but who knows if its a touch or not).

Thank you very much, I do appreciate this site, the moderators and members have such a helpful positive attitude that it really helps those of us that just need a little reassurance that every thing will be okay! I thank you for this

Thank you Karen, I hope the same for you!
