Many people have posted that they are taking 15 or 20mgs. Lexapro. I did not notice any effect on depression or anxiety at 10mgs after 3 weeks and my doctor said that most of his other patients didn't either, despite the big sell that 10mgs "should" be all you need. It was important for me to go slowly though, because of the side effects I experienced. And I'm not convinced yet that this is the med for me. Maybe you would do better to cut back at first (I'm not sure how long you've been on it) and work up slowly to deal with the side effects, or maybe you just won't end up liking the med. The side effects often end up being different for different people. But I just wanted to reassure you about the dosing-- it's not uncommon. Good luck.
