> Saw Pdoc today and have been bumped up to 30 mg. since no benefit yet. Wondering if anyone has taken 30 mg.and if S/E are still tolerable? I see some Lex users here have stayed with the it even with no benefits before 8-9 weeks, wondering if your dosage was increased during that time or if you are still on your initial dosage? Also, was it the doc who suggested staying on Lex? My doc seems to think that if it were going to work, that it would have already and she agreed to trying 30 mg.(at my request) for only two more weeks even though she felt it wouldn't be useful.

I started at 10 mg for two weeks, started getting anxiety/panic attacks. Upped it 20 mg for almost 3 weeks and started back on my zoloft. Didn't seem to work for me. In my opinion, they usually start working within a couple weeks. Now I have to start my zoloft all over. Anxiety/panic attacks are subsiding, but now the depression has kicked in so will have to wait for zoloft to start working again. Hope that helps. Good luck. I know it's tough.
