	When your dosage is upped from 10 MGs to 20 MGs are there typically side effects because today I was so incredibly exhausted? I could hardly stand without wanting to lay down, having hot flashes and I just felt dizzy and worried. I've been on the couch all day long just about. I took a shower but was so exhausted I had to lay on my bed afterwards. Oi. Perhaps it could have been the wine last night but I've never fight like this after a couple glasses of wine the next day. Anyone? Please? lol Getting anxious and worried thinking about all this....

	Hi Twiggy, Nice talking with you in chat. I think the higher dose may take some time to adjust to. It could also be the wine, I can't drink too much with Lexapro. Doc said 1 to 1-1/2 glasses max. Take care and hope you feel better. Bear It's a jungle out there..... Theme song from "Monk" by Randy Newman VIEW IMAGE Back to Top

	my doctor also increased my dose from 10 to 20. i havent really had to many side effects. dry mouth for the first couple of days but that was about it. i have been on the 10mg for better than a year. that could have something to do with it. it did take 2 weeks for me to feel better with the increase. much luck to you.
