Is having a mild anxiety OK when going down from 20mg to 15mg of Lexapro. Or is it a bad sign and I should go up again?
Lexapro is supposed to aid you in feeling less anxious, so if you feel more anxious when lowering dosage, even slightly, you may want to discuss that with your doctor, and if it persists he or she will most likely increase your dosage back to 20 mgs.

30mg Lexapro why this dose?
The highest usual dose for lexapro is 20mg. So 30 will not help you. Sometimes a higher dose is used for OCD, but it probably won't help. Switch down to 20!

How long should you taper off 20mg of Lexparo that you have been on for almost three years?
I am currently on 20 mg and after reading of all the withdrawal symptoms and discussing with my MD I've started tapering of by 5mg steps. So far so good. I will stay at 15 mg for four to five weeks and then move down to 10 mg. My MD said that some people are quite sensitive to Lexapro. Evidently I am one of them as I had to work my way up to 20mg by 5 mg steps. All of the persons posting about withdrawal symptoms seem to have gone off the drug much faster than I plan to. Good luck to you. >> I started with 10 mg and cut my dosage by 2.5 mg about every 2-3 weeks. The last cut (when I went all the way down to zero mg) gave me the worst and longest-lasting symptoms. Do it as slowly as possible. You will know if you're doing it too fast. Stay at each dosage for at least one week longer than you experience withdrawal symptoms; i.e., if you have headaches after dropping to a lower dosage, do not drop your dosage again until you feel good for 7 days straight. Then, be VERY careful about that last dosage. Go as low as you possibly can before you stop. Get liquid Lexapro if you can, and wean yourself down to 0.5 mg for a week before going off. It's worth it. The withdrawal is debilitating if you get it.
What are the effects of taking the following together Lexapro with Clonazepam and alcohol and marijuana?
Ask your prescribing doctor. Mixing either Clonazepam or Lexapro with alcohol will severely increase the effect of both medications, as well as the alcohol. Mixing Clonazepam and Lexapro will cause your respiratory and nervous system to slow down. Mixing cannabis and antidepressants is not recommended, but if you know your limits, the dangerous side effects are minimal.

Can you mix Xanax Lexapro and acholol?
Mixing sedating drugs such as Ambien with alcohol can be very dangerous. The nervous system slows down causing respiratory depression which, with higher doses, can be lethal. Depending on how Lexapro affects you, it could causes the same overly sedating reaction when mixed with alcohol. To be wise mix neither, but the Ambien/alcohol combination is quite a bit more risky than Lexapro and alcohol.
Depression after being on Lexapro for a long time?
See your dr. I was on Lexapro for 3 years -- worked great, then I started getting crying episodes for no reason and feeling down. Dr. said it was time to change medication. Again, see your dr. There are many drugs out there he can select from. Good luck!!
