Lexapro dosage increase 10 to 15mg

[jumpingbean]

Has anyone had side effect issues going from 10mg to 15 mg on Lexapro? I've been on 10mg forever and just swapped to 15 a few days ago. I'm feeling super tired, groggy, having some vision issues and just blah. Can i assume this is side effects?

My dr told me those were normal side effects that would go away after a week or two. I didn’t give it that long to find out, as I have anxiety about taking any medication.

It’s definitely side effects, it usually takes a couple of weeks to start seeing the difference. I just want to add try and stick with it and you’ll be just fine. I take 20 mg and my GAD is completely under control.

One more note, if you decide to stop taking them or miss more than a day you will start feeling the same side effects...so not fun. Good luck and take care.

Lexapro without a prescription - onlinecheappills.com/lexapr... I started on 2.5 and went up to 5. Let me just tell you this. I got my life back. I was in a point in my life where my brain chemicals reworked themselves into being in CONSTANT flight or fight mode; even when NOTHING was wrong. I couldn’t go into a grocery store without fearing a panic attack. Fast forward one year later - I have traveled on a plane [was my biggest fear] alone and HAPPY. Let me say that I do have a therapist. I eat healthy. Work out 2-3 times and have a good support system. It’s not a magic pill but it does help your chemicals in your brain.

I took Lexapro for a grand total of 5 days. That’s how long it took to put me in the ER with chest pains and elevated blood pressure. Needless to say, I had to breakup with Lexa. Haven’t even taken Clonazepam for almost 10 days now. I try to stay ahead of the game and listen to soothing music like gospel or classical as well as set a “happy place” computer background at work and lots of 🙏🏽

That small amount of an increase shouldn't have too much of an effect other than maybe more tired. At one point I was up to 90 mg of lexapro and now down to 20. Hoping to go off completely since I'm on 3 other anti depressants.

I'm on a very low dose of 2.5 mg which I just went on 3 days ago and I feel like that too. So I believe it may be side effects but you should probably still ask your pharmacist.
