In reply to How do you know if you should increase Lex dosage?, posted by captain on August 6, 2004, at 10:24:56
Hey There :),
From what I have heard and experienced ( as a former Lexapro user), you usually can feel when you need to increase your dosage, because you feel your anxiety or depression creeping back.
If I were you, I would see your doctor and ask him/her about increasing to 15. The only way to see if you will gain weight on meds is by "trial and error." It seems like you have not gained weight thus far...perhaps Lexapro works well with your system.
If you do find yourself gainging weight in the future, talk to your doctor about Effexor or Wellburtin. I am on Effexor XR and have LOST weight.....
Best of Luck,
Violet
