Increasing Lexapro from 5mg to 10mg
My psychiatrist advised me that I could increase my Lexapro from 5mg to 10mg. Since I initially experienced significant side effects (increased anxiety, sleeplessness) when I first started (on it for 22 days), I fear a repeat when I increase the dose. Has anyone else been in similar circumstances? Thanks!

I took Lexapro with no problems for 8 yrs. I was told by a Cardiologist that if we are nervous or anxious about starting a med we will have problems . He said don’t think about it so much. I hope this helps.
