> 5mg of celexa for 4 weeks, your going nowhere on that dose.If you carnt go higher get off the med. As for 2.5 of lexapro its near on the same med, 2.5 is going to do nothing if your thinking of staying that low.Unless in some sort of combo
That's not necessarily true. Lexapro is very powerful. Sure the studies done on Lexapro were done using 10 to 20 mg(I think???). Still, because of Lexapro's power, certain more sensitive individuals may do very well on a low dose like 2.5 or 5 mg. I KNOW there are some doctors out there that are prescribing these lower doses and ignoring protocol, I have a pdoc that is one of them.
