I started Lex about 2 months ago, taking 10mg per day. I have had no major side effects, actually nothing but the usual week long sexual effects and some teeth clenching. I've felt very, very lucky!
However, I saw my doctor today and he wants me to up my dose to 20mg. I know I've read a lot of posts about this, but I'm going to ask again. Should I go up the full 10mg to start or should I go up to 15 and if so, for how long? And then after that time go to 20mg? I'm afraid to mess with the dose because I'm afraid of the side effects so many of you have been experiencing. But, at the same time, "the light" hasn't come on yet.
Thank you for the advice!
