Hi. I was looking for opinions on what I can expect while increasing my dose of Lexapro. Good effects, or not so good ones.
I started Lexapro about a year ago, when things got so bad I couldn't take it anymore. I started on 10 mg, and stayed there until a week and a half ago. When I went to this doctors appointment, I saw a different doctor at the clinic I go to, and he said the normal dose is 20 mg. He also noticed I was anxious, more than I should be if it was being successfully controlled. I hadn't been to the doctor in about 6 months so he decided to bump the dose up to 20 mg and see what happens.
I think I may feel more...energetic, I think? I also think I may be getting feelings of anger...like almost like a panic attack, but an angry attack. I dunno if that makes sense.....I could just be making it up. I was wondering if that does make sense when increasing meds, or am I just grasping at straws?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
