> Thank you morgan miller, I have very occasionally seen online where people are taking 2.5 mg Lex, but I didn't know if that was a long term thing or they were titrating up.

I can't even imagine how wigged out I would feel on 20 mg!She's just not doing all here research and operating outside the box of conventional psychiatric wisdom. I think 10 mg is plenty high enough for most. I would push using 5 or 2.5 mg and see what she says. It's worth a try if it means less side effects with just as much success.
