Hey Guys,
I have been escitalopram 10mg for about 3 months now(5mg in morning and 5mg at night). It took about 6 weeks for it to really work and has worked pretty well so far except for a few random times. My main issue for starting the meds was terrible morning anxiety right after my first daughter was born.( I had never really had anxiety before) That had since gone away till about a week ago. It has come back but not nearly to the extent that it was before. My doc has recommended that I move up to 15mg for a few weeks but hasn't mentioned that to me before because i did deal with some significant side effects when starting the med for the first 6 weeks. He has told me that most men my age(28) need 20mg for anxiety. Should I except side effects if i move to 15mg and then 20mg slowly over a few weeks? Has anyone noticed a significant difference when upping their dose? Thanks!
