In reply to Has anyone used 5 mg of Lexapro instead of 10 mg?, posted by Joe Crenshaw on November 27, 2009, at 15:08:48
Hello Joe Crenshaw!
Welcome to Psycho-Babble. I've never taken Lexapro before, but I do take Celexa, which is similar. I take it at night too. get sleepy from my nighttime meds, but I am not sure whether or not it is from the Celexa or the Risperdal take. Hearing your story makes me think it might be both.
I think you should talk to your doctor about decreasing your dose. Some people do well with a smaller dose. It's all very individual.
Just people one person needs 10 mg to do well, doesn't mean that 5 mg wouldn't work for you.
You could always try cutting down on the dose and if it doesn't work you can go back.
