Hi,
I went up to 30 mg of Lexapro 2 weeks ago. Since then I feel agitated, angry, I can't focus, have a hard time sitting still and my OCD has been intense. I felt this way when I first started the med (2 months ago) and then I started feeling great. My depression lifted but we increased the dose bc my OCD was still bad.
My question is how long does it take to get used to the increased dose. I don't know if I should wait it out or just go back to 20 mg. Has anyone ever felt this way and then it went away and they felt good?
Thanks,
Jeff

Well you did say the same happened at 20mg and then went away. Isn't 30mg high for lexapro? But then the doses are getting higher for all the ad's it seems. Good luck. Phillipa
