Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Safe To Increase The Dosage From 10mg To 20mg Of Lexapro ?
after a consultation with my family doctor yesterday. He increased my dosage of lexapro from 10mg to 20mg due to change of jobs and a potential love relationship. I worry that i will keep on taking this dosage i.e. 20mg. I hesitate to change. Pls advise.
It is a safe dose of lexapro and if your doctor thinks it is right to increase the daily quantities, then I have no reasons to suggest otherwise. however, you reserve the right to execute his recommendation or not and should you have any concerns, he is the best person to address that. If it were clearly not justify, i could have helped you in making a decision on whether to take or not but it is not the case. Talk to him and express your worries so that you both can address it.
Hope you find this helpful. I wish you well and we look forward to helping you with more answers if need be.
