Hello!

I have been taking Lexapro(escito...however you spell it) since December 30th 2017 for depression and anxiety. I started at 10mg for about four days and taking it in the morning. That was terrible. The side effects sucked. So then...I decided to start taking only 5 mg at night (I did ask my doctor if that was ok and she okayed it). Since making that change, it has been wonderful. I don't know how I went as anxious as I was for YEARS. Now....I'm thinking about taking 10mg(continue to take it at night) to see what would happen. I have been on 5 mg since 01/02/2018...is it ok to start at 10mg? Or no. Thanks!
