hi guys

just been to psych doc and after having taken 50mg for 1 month I have to take 100mg for 2 wks then 150mg. Does this sound a high dose?
The panic attacks have returned and I am so down, actually left the place in tears I just want to feel better. After being on lexapro for 6 months which didn't work I am now worried this won't either.
Does anyone else take this much and please does it work?

I'm sure it will help. Remain positive. I take 50mg and went through a blip recently but I'm now starting to feel better again.

It's difficult to say whether it's high or not - people react differently. If you feel much better on 100mg tell your doctor and maybe you can remain on that. But 200mg is max so 100-150 isn't very, very high.

Don't worry too much about what other people are on - you concentrate on how you feel and getting back to being well ;)
