Lexapro..from 10mg to 20mg...when can I switch

Posted by clubfitter on August 5, 2007, at 15:15:56

Coming off of Effexor and just on Lexapro for a couple days at 10mg....I desperately need to get feeling better and am willing to deal with side effect if it means I feel better faster. Has anyone started at 20 mg or gone to 20 from ten in just a couple days??? Thanks in advance!

I think you should check with your pdoc first. As it takes a few weeks usually to kick in anyway. Good luck to you. Love Phillipa I'm med sensitive so if you're resistant doc may say okay.

I have only been off of it a month after a brief hospitalization and they put me on Effexor...Wondering if only being off it for a month may make it act a little quicker?? And also negate some of the side effects?? Wishful thinking I guess...I have also read reports that Lexapro works very quick for a lot of people....maybe in the first couple days or weeks....
