A member asked:
Is 30mg of lexapro (escitalopram) a safe dose? too high? what is a typical dose for gad and pa's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lexapro (escitalopram) dose: Lexapro (escitalopram) (citalopram) is a safe medicine, relative to others, and 30 mg is not unsafe. Most people use 10 or 20 mg doses however. Perhaps those doses were not effective for you?
