HOLY COW 60 mg of lexapro? Damn I was only on 10 mg and it kicked my butt...had to take it at night because it made me tired. Worked like a charm though!

If it works for you and that is what your doctor put you on then go with the flow!!!!!

Thanks daze...funny thing is im not 100% sure it is totaly working...oh well...

If it works for you and your doc is ok with it then i wouldn,t worry about it.
It give anything to be on a med that worked right now, my anxiety is 24/7, cant eat or sleep, haven,t for weeks now, i get to see my doc new doc on friday, im hoping and praying to go on lexapro as iv,e heard it,s good for the anxiety.
Hugs!.

According to rxlist, there was not a demonstrated difference between 10mg and 20mg of Lexapro - 60mg is considered an overdose!

I am on day 1 of 10mg Lexapro, so take it for what it's worth.

OVERDOSE?? i know you didnt mean to scare me, but NOW IM FREAKIN OUT

HOLY CRAP!! whos your Dr!! one of the 3 Stooges? 60mg? omg !! thats just crazy , you'll be out in a loop until 2010!! my Dr started me off at 20 mg then in 3 weeks cut me back it takes almost 3 weeks until it Kicks in but 60 mg? dang cut the pill in 1/2 !! yeah Like Daze said take it at night did your Dr also Put you on Klonopin? or you just taking Lexapro by its self?

I take 10 and only ever have for the 5 yrs i've been on it except for twice when my dr upped it to 20 insisting that 10 was only a loading dose and couldn't still be working for me because it wears off for everybody over time. Well not me or at least not yet and both times he upped it it put me to sleep. I will say it's the best sleeping pill I know of. Out like a light for hours. But that kinda scared me cause i couldn't wake up for things like phones and alarms. I was afraid the house would burn down and i'd just sleep. So yes that seems excessive to me.

Barr, I take xanax up to 1.5 mg if needed

Call your doctor, I think there's possibly an error in your dosage...especially if your are just STARTING the whole deal!!
