[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 267197, member: 2423"] The recommended therapeutic Lexapro dose for both adolescents and adults is 10 mg, although some need up to 20 mg. Sometimes kids need to start at lower doses to let their bodies adjust to the medication. My own daughter started at 2.5 mg (we cut a 5 mg tablet in half) and ended up on 7.5 mg 6 weeks later, where she's remained stable for 3 years. Unless it's an emergency, there's never any reason not to start low and go slowly with medication titration. [/QUOTE]
