jingles1987 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 My doctor started me on 5mg of lexapro for 5 days and now I am on 10mg and almost finished week one. I have had a lot of the side effects which I know is common, but what I'm wondering is when you switched was it like starting over?What was your experience in the first few weeks?

statesof Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hey jingles1987, I have not personally been put on ssri's but just thought I would add that when I started amitriptyline (tricylic antidepressent), to avoid some of the side effects since I'm so sensative to meds, instead of upping the dose every week or two weeks I took a whole month, and this for me help drastically with the side effects. I think for my system titrating doses really has to be done a lot slower than the average person, if might be worth asking your doctor about especially if you have a lot of side effects.
