>My pdoc has wanted me on higher doses of benzos for years not ad's.
What is the rationale here?
>It was my own suggestion to try the lexapro. She said if you want to try you can. Just take a small dose.
Since you haven't stopped Luvox, she will advise a small dose of Lexapro. This does not mean that very small doses of Lexapro are optimal.
>They are finding what used to be considered theraputic is now considred to high.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. 10mg of Lexapro remains the recommended therapeutic dose for most people. Lower doses have not been demonstrated to be optimal in trials.
>Blue like your baseline idea.
That would involve coming off Luvox and benzos. You told me a few days ago that you do not wish to stop taking either of these meds. I really think you need to be more decisive. At the moment, I do not think it would be wise to stop the benzos. I do, however, believe that you will be able to stop the Luvox relatively easily once you are on a therapeutic dose of Lexapro.
>Will continue to support others as learned while nursing.
That's a noble aim. But shouldn't you focus on getting yourself well first?
