> Well, the feeling Ive been getting the last two weeks when taking 30MG lexapro (half my 60mg dose of citalopram) was the same as when I doubled my citalopram dose. I just feel like a fool that I didnt realise earlier that I was on too high a dose of lexapro. I just thought my anxiety had come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

> Well, I will keep you posted on how I get on on 20mg (which if the 4:1 ratio is true), will still be too high and I should move to 15mg... but I want to play it safe.

**** 4 to 1 ratio? that is wrong...Lex 10mg vs celexa 40mg is a 2 to 1 ratio not 4 to 1 (dont forget to subtract the r-isomer). anyway...forest is not promoting 4 to 1 either...10mg is 40 yes...but 15=60 and 20=80 is not exact...10mg has been fine for many 60mg+ people (not just celexa...all high doses of AD's). if you already got to 30mg fine, then dropping to 20mg over 2 days or so, then 10 should be fine (not associated w/ discontinuation syndrome) keep us posted.
