| Mar 13, 2009 | My Dr. prescribed 10mg daily but advised me to begin at .5mg (cut them in half) for ten days, then begin the full dose. The .5mg had a tremendous effect; halting the impulsive suicidal thoughts and generally uplifting the melancholia. When I increased to the full dose (10mg) I experienec anorgasmia and decreased libido. My PD symptoms have also ncreased in intensiiy, but I'm no sure it's re;ated to the Lexapro. After speaking with the Dr., I have reurned to the .5mg dose. | $25-49 monthly |
