I have OCD and was prescribed Lexapro I took 10 MG. I have Slowly been increasing the dose from 2.5 mg the first week to 5 mg for 2 weeks. I felt a lot of side effects on 5 mg, huge increase in anxiety, sleeplessness, Diarrhea and yawning, weird dreams, shaking. I stabilized after around a week and started to feel a lot better even better then before the medicine, felt less anxiety and felt more positive. I increased to 7.5 mg for already 6 days some side effects are less then the first I increased to 5 mg. But lots of sleeping, headaches and nausea im sick of just all these shitty side effects. Should I just wait to stabilize again for another week and increase dose. Or should I just go for the full 10 mg and get blasted with side effects for a week and get it over with? My Brother Says 10 mg is when you start to feel the big benefits.
