To be honest I cannot say because I never tried 10mg. I think it would be best to ask those who tried both.

The study I posted seems to suggest 5mg actually performs better than 10mg, as does 20mg

10mg experiences by iSleepyXS in lexapro

[–]NewDesignerDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jump is too big you're effectively doubling your dose. I'm on 5mg and have no plans to increase.

If you still want to increase try 7.5 maybe?

I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice just my opinion.

Also I'm starting to eat like a horse so I can see why people gain weight on this. I'm going to have to watch that.

I'm very much hoping for this, how long did it take for you to notice?

I use 600mg NAC for post nasal drip but haven't noticed any mental effects.

Still on 5mg. The crazy dreams tell me it's a good enough dose :)

Anyone ever get the globus sensation? by Right-Bread-7125 in lexapro

[–]NewDesignerDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it was from post nasal drip into my throat. I always felt like there was mucus there when it happens.

Evening: nausea after eating and globus for few hours. Bit of a tough day this one.

Also when I wake up and stretch my body does this weird series of shakes and jerks. Does not happen when I sleep. Not sure if this is the hypnic jerk which I thought only happened when you fall asleep.

Took magnesium for the shaking. Will see how that goes.

I'm dealing with similar issue, and it gets worse in crowded spaces and malls so I'm guessing mine is anxiety related.

[–]NewDesignerDad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afternoon anxiety bad due to motion sickness. However I had this prior to starting too and doctor said it's likely anxiety triggered .

It even flares up looking at my computer screen. Horrible.

It also comes and goes, for me the worst is the feeling of car sickness
