In reply to Starting Lexapro at 20 mg/day???????, posted by McPac on June 30, 2003, at 20:18:22
Hello,
I'm not an expert on Lex yet (ha) being this is my 4th day on it but that dose sounds a little high being. The starting dose is usually 10 mg.
I was suppose to start at 10 mg but knowing my past sensitivity to meds I went with the 5 mg. I've gotten a few panicky se's, headache, etc. I take Klonopin to offset the panicky feelings for now which I hope go away as my body adjusts. I too am curious on the mg comparison to Celexa!! I use to take 15 mg years ago.
Take it slow at first. Everyone is different but I always am cautious and take the 1/2 a dose to start off.
Take care and good luck!
