Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think the official recommendation is 20 mg/day, but there are plenty of studies about a 40-mg/day dose where the subjects didn't have anything awful happen.
Hmmm. I'm on 20 and was wanting to ask if I could go higher, but all in all I think I'd just as soon go back to Celexa anyway. How high can you go on that, for curiosity's sake? I think I had 40mg when I switched over.
Mmm. Fay said lashings. Not to mention ripping.
And I totally don't mean porn.
I know, I know. I just thought I had another week or two to get my shit together. Alas.
They might be fine. In fact, I'd say there's a 99% chance they're fine. But if you're getting busy with somebody, use a condom.
I have two of the packs, how about if I just take two at a time? They're low-dose!
Ah, just take a handful. Like M&Ms.

That's what I was hoping.
Christ, really I just wish I didn't have cramps right now.

You can go to 60 mg/day, but it's not markedly more effective at doses higher than 40 mg/day. Celexa, that is. It's a whole law of diminishing returns thing.
Doesn't it make the drug less effective if you take a higher dose and try to return to a lower dose? Like a capacity thing. IME.
Cool, thanks.

Hmm. I honestly don't know on that one. I'll have to poke around and see what info I can dig up.
IIRC (from the video clips I cut for their website lo these many years ago), 10mg Lexapro = 20mg Celexa. (Lexapro, as a molecule, is essentially half a Celexa, so you only need half as much to get the same effect. In theory, anyway -- obviously some people still do better on Celexa, so it's not an exact science.)

Yeah, that's more or less what my doctor told me, and that Lexapro is supposed to have fewer side effects. I haven't really found that to be true - I have more sides, though not severe ones, and some vaguely alarming mood spirals that I never experienced on Celexa. Now I just have to get around to making an appointment, though.
