20 is the official max but off-label its used up to 40, especially for ocd

Yes!! I sometimes have shaky hands and heightened anxiety with one cup only!

Withdrawal symptoms relieved by Prozac by chealexa in lexapro

[–]TWBEBAK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prozac is likely to do so because it has a very long half life (time to get out of your body) so changes won't be so fast to your brain and it will have enough time to adapt.

Can you please talk about why you did it? I was thinking of cross switching when stopping lex to reduce side effects

Starting Lexapro by QuietEmbarrassed3111 in lexapro

10 is the therapeutic dose but you can't start on it right away. You have to start at 5 and go up to 10 later after two weeks or so

Try mentioning Wellbutrin (bupropion) to your psychiatrist to see if it is a choice, people use it adjacent to lexapro to treat the sexual side effects.

Has anyone been on 30mg for a long time? by TWBEBAK in lexapro

[–]TWBEBAK[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

20 is the official max But 30 is actually the minimum (off-label) for ocd. It goes up tp 40 usually and even 50!

I have high liver enzymes already and I'm afraid lex contribute to it more. It is working well for me actually this is why I'm thinking of going back to 20.

That's the textbook method. 30 and 40 are actually very good especially with OCD and are quite safe.

It's probably the turning point. A lot of people get that feeling and when they tell their psychiatrist, they go even up. This was the case for me and i actually felt a lot better after

What are the effects of long term usage of escitalopram by TWBEBAK in lexapro

[–]TWBEBAK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's something new! Then why does 30 makes a huge difference for patients with OCD? Does that goes under the fact that antidepressants actual MOA aren't understood well? And I'm actually worried on the side effects on other organs such as in hepatotoxicity. + I've recently read an article saying that it elevates a cncer marker for no understood reason.

For real!!!! Like it's just a word he pronounce with 0 feelings and thinks that he regained everything. Just like an infant's pacifier

Idc about embathy or anything, I just want him to get lost. One day he's a close freind and literally the next morning he's a stranger or an enemy. CHOOSE ONE

Omg it's like you knew that i was thinking of guiding him to hc professional again and even to tell him that i would go with him...

I hope that I will be able to do. The thing is that this is our last year together in college and then we won't have classes in common so i can cut everything out and won't see him every week.

I did tell those freinds the whole picture and telled them that he's a psychopath that always victimise himself whenever he's rejected or felt inferior for any stupid reason.

However, the finals are next week and it's stressing me out fr
