Post Body

I started on Lexapro 5mg but the side effects were too much (insomnia, diarrhea, and vomiting) the first night, that I decided to cut back to get used to it.

I took 2.5mg last night, and I didn’t have any side effects. I slept through the whole night without nausea. I do notice though, that it doesn’t feel as effective for me as the 5mg dose.

I’m planning on upping my dose after a week back to 5mg. Do you recommend, taking 2.5mg in the evening and then 12 hours later another 2.5mg, to get adjusted to the 5mg? Or just take the 5mg dose all at once?
