Hi Emily,
Your doctor wants you to go right to 20 mgs? I think you should do what is comfortable. If slowly increasing to 15 mgs, then 20 mgs is easier I think you should tell your pdoc that's what you want to do. On the other hand, if your side effects (other than the anxiety) have been tolerable, you might have no problem increasing right to 20 mgs. Please let us know what you end up doing. Either way, I think you will be okay. Increasing right to 20 mgs might be a little more uncomfortable...but it could also take effect a lot faster and you might see results a lot sooner.

> thank you kathryn...i almost never had panic before starting lex. that is SO interesting and makes me feel better that a higher dose may be necessary for anxiety. are you on 15 or 20? my doc says i should go right to 20, but i am nervous to.
> i know i will make it through but sometimes it seems so hopeless...and ive never been a depressed person. your story is inspiring to me!
