[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 324268, member: 7083"] T - I'm going to try 125mg for 2 weeks, then go to 150mg and see what happens. If it's just intermittent, I can handle it. These were getting worse by the day, though, so I'm going to bump more slowly. SW - Would splitting it help with the insomnia caused by going to 150mg? I currently take my dose in the morning. I only mentioned it in passing, but it was becoming an issue, too. Is that one of those side effects that your body adjusts to after a couple of weeks? EB - I've been on Lexapro for several years. I started at 10mg and after about a year, increased to 20mg because I needed more. About 18 months ago, I added Lamictal because, again, I needed something more. I did the starter pack, and at 100mg it was working so I held there. Now, I need more again, which is why I'm bumping. I also have .5mg tabs of Klonopin. I have severe, treatment resistant depression. When not controlled by medications, it gets very scary, very fast. [/QUOTE]
