Hello..I am not sure If I have posted this question before or not,but I went from 5 mgs of Lexapro to 7 1/2 mg..Which in my 5th week I started to feel bad again.About 4 or 5 days ago I increased my dosage to 10 mgs (am now in my 6th week) I really dont feel depressed but I have increased sleepiness (low motivation) and have lost the increased energy that I had at 7 1/2 mg.Is it normal to lose some of the good effects Or kinda tetter totter back & forth whenever the lex is increased?If so about how long does it take for the new level to stable out?
Thanks again & hope you have a great New Year !!!

CajunBelle -
I just upped my Lex dose from 10mg to 20mg on 12/26 - 10 days ago. Today is the first day I don't feel very sleepy! This was done after about 10 weeks on Lex. I felt pretty good, but could feel my symptoms coming back. I have PMDD and am 40 yrs. old. I had only a few s/e's on the increased dosage and just for a few days. Hang in there, this has been a wonderful drug for me and I hope it is for you too!
