In reply to schedule for lex 15 to 10?, posted by Joslynn on September 19, 2005, at 10:56:28
Could your doc be concerned that 10 was not enough to prevent a relapse of depression? I'm not sure, just throwing it out there.
As for decreasing, my experience is that it can be really hit or miss. It depends on your general sensitivity to meds, how long you have been on it, etc. Also, it probably will be easier since you are not completely stopping, just lowering. My pdoc has always said things to the effect of drop down every few days and if you have too many side effects from discontinuation, go back up. So, my guess (I haven't done it myself) would be about a week at 12.5 and then try 10 and see how it goes.
Best,
EE
