My Lexapro dose was increased to 20 mg due to depression, and I think I am experiencing a side effect (it is not life threatening.) I have been on 20 mg of Lexapro twice before within the past 3 years and never experienced this side effect--or any side effect.
My question is: has anyone gone back on an increased dose of Lexapro (or any other SSRI) again and experience a side effect when, during the prior time of the increased dose, they never had the side effect?
Thanks.
