In reply to Re: How Can a Pdoc Rx a med Above the Drug co's Max?, posted by bleauberry on December 9, 2007, at 18:33:07
Sometimes I think it's not grasping at straws, it's wanting to try all the options. I went up on my Lexapro above the max dosage because it had worked for some of my pdocs patients, and since I was already on it, if that had worked it would have been a lot faster than tapering off and up on another drug and waiting for that to take effect. It didn't work, so my pdoc then presented me with 6 options, said which one she thought was best and why, and I made a decision. Doesn't sound like grasping at straws at all to me. Sounds like trying to do what could be best for the patient.
