Oh, wow, I feel so much better, the Dr did get back to me and told me to take 20...I am feeling a bit better, probably takes it time...i feel like I could use 60 mgs.
Anyone know if this might make your functioning worse, my memory is gone...I just happened upon my post even.
thanks,
meg
I am so sorry you are going through a rough time. I'm really sorry I haven't been around more. I am going to see to it that I check in more...
Please take care of yourself..

Hi Meg,
How'd you make out? Doc call reach back out to you?

10 mg is like a child's dose. I take 20 mg of Lexapro. I didn't know that you could go up to 60. I might ask about this. I was on Lexapro before the MS suspicions, but not that my neuro is suspecting MS, I notice that my panic attacks are increasing.
Meg, that is something your doctor would have to answer. I will tell you, I take Xanax for shortness of breath and the anxiety that comes with it. Honestly, I take one and try to distract myself but if it is full blown, I take two. That works. It only works because it puts me to sleep and I wake calmed. For me, it only happens a few times a week...For a bit it was going on daily and that scared me. I know now it is not something that will continue to happen as often and maybe that is why I have calmed.
It is such a frightening experience. I feel for you.
The Max dosage for Lexapro is 60 mg per day .
