I am currently on 30mg of Lexapro and when I asked my pdoc for an increase which I read online that 40mg is typically the highest recommeded max dose, my pdoc refused indicating that I was at the highest dose. Instead he added Wellbutrin SR which did lift my depression after 2 weeks. Lexapro alone pooped out on me after 7 months, but with the addition of Wellbutrin, my depression has lifted once again.

> I don't know what the highest dose is, but I would guess that some people probably go as high as 120 mg or so before switching to a different drug. I did very well on 40 mg. I know that my doctor has patients on 60 or more.
