Will the jitters come back whenever you increase your Lexapro dosage and for how long?

YOU SHOULD NEVER increase or decrease ANY medication (especially the one you are on) without your doctors permission and supervision. If the doctor told you to up the dose slowly then there is no reason you should get the jitters because your system is already use to this medication. In fact, you could have the jitters because the dose may not be high enough for you. Up this dose ONLY with your doctor's permission!

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.
What are effects by taking Vicodin and Lexapro?
I have taken them together and survived. 20 mg Lexapro with 5 mg Vicodin and 3 pints of beer. My doctor said the Lexapro and Vicodin are ok together as long as it is supervised and within the recommended dosage. The beer, probably not ok.

Lexapro 10 mg enough to start up with?
10 is a reasonable amount. If you start with too much sometimes it makes you even worse. I've been through that with Lexapro already. Seriously, low dosage and work your way up. It pays off. 10 is a reasonable amount. If you start with too much sometimes it makes you even worse. I've been through that with Lexapro already. Seriously, low dosage and work your way up.

Can Cymbalta be taken with lexapro without developing serotonin syndrome?
I wouldn't suggest it at all. Just from personal experience, I developed a moderate case of serotonin syndrome while weening myself off Lexapro to switch to Cymbalta. Had I taken my regular dosage of Lexapro (20mg) with the 20mg of Cymbalta, I probably would have ended up in the ER.

Lexapro is not approved for pregnancy but I would talk to your dr.They may switch you to a lower dosage or to a pregnancy approved antidepressant.

You shouldn't notice any difference.

not sure, but i suggest gradually weaning yourself off (i.e. half your dosage, take it every other day, etc.)
My dog is taking amoxicillin Half of it is gone It's been two weeks I recognize the dosage should increase due to shelf life What is the percentage?
You don't change the dosage. You were given the necessary dosage. It will be given to the dog long before the expiration date arrives.
What is the maximum dose of Lexapro that you can take?
I'm pretty sure the max dose is 20mg. If you wan to go above that you take Celexa; which is where Lexapro came from...that can go to 40mg as far as I know...I went from 10mg Lexapro to 40mg of Celexa...it wasn't so great for me. I couldn't hardly stay awake...the sleepiness is supposed to pass....
What should you do after taking lexapro 10mg and have constant headache?
When I started taking Lexapro I had a constant headache. My doctor told me that was a 'normal' side effect of the drug and it would subside in a few weeks. For me it took about a month to be headache free. To me it was worth it because I chose the headache over the constant sadness. I also suffer from migraines and the Lexapro headache was not debilitating like migraines so I stuck it out and the headache went away. The headache returned after I increased the dosage to 20mg and it took about 3 weeks to adjust.
