| I have been prescribed with Lexapro for my depression problems. My initial dosage is 10 mg a day. I wonder, is this too much of a Lexapro dosage? I do not wont to get addicted, so will lesser dosages ensure that? I mean, does it even work that way? Will I get addicted no matter the amount I take? I am already starting to get nervous and jumpy because of my depression, I really do not need another thing to worry about. |

Lets put it this way. To win some, you must lose some. Even though Lexapro will get you addicted, we are not talking about strong addictions, or strong drugs. The mistake people usually make is that they try to stop suddenly with the therapy, that is a wrong thing to do. Slowly reducing the dosage is a safe and painless way to stop the therapy. As for dosage, 10 mg a day is a standard amount prescribed for people who take Lexapro for the first time. After that initial dosage, progress you make and consultation with doctor will determine if you will change the dosage.
