... ... and you're welcome ...
... sorry ... i have come up with more than one way to interpret your question ... ...... the simplest way, is to guess that you believe i have more experience changing my lexapro dosage than i have ...
... ... for instance, that plan to bump up 1 mg per week remains hypothetical ... even, bumping up at all remains very hypothetical in my world ...... i've only done lexapro and only for 5 months ... ... i've only changed my dosage 3 times and that's counting when i started ...
(note: i have very limited experience compared to many others on these boards!)
... ... i have read a considerable amount of the posts about lexapro ... ... most of what i post comes from that, not direct experiencemy dose changes versus side-effect:
1)
started march 6 at 10 mg:
change: 0 mg to 10 mg = +10 mg
SEs : oh, Yes!2)
march 7; decreased dose to 5 mg:
change: 10 mg to 5 mg = -5mg
SEs : still ...3)
april 9: 5 mg to 10 mg = +5 mg
re-creation of my starting SEs, but less intensein beginning and in april, the SEs faded to zero by week 3, although they were nearly gone by week 2 .... compared to week 1 , everything else seemed like a cake-walk ...
will report if and when i titrate up ...
... good luck
~ jimp.s. let me know if i missed your meaning there ...
