It is usually recommended to start out at a small dose (5mg) for about a week or so....then bump it up to 10mg if you tolerated 5mg. Some can handle 20mg, some can't. It all depends on your body, but bottom line, it is best to start small to let your body get used to it.

How do you know if Lexapro is not working?

I have heard of people on 40 mg? Then again I have heard of people on an endless cyle & search for 'the perfect drug' I think I may stop these meds all together an try the natural approach.

I was informed by my doctor that this was not a high dose. He informed me that a high dose would be 20 mg per day. Also, some people who have a Coumadin resistant problem can take up to 30 to 40 mg per day of Coumadin. If your INR is not reaching the target number, they will increase your dosage until they finally reach that goal.
