A member asked:
Having severe gad. taking 10mg of lexapro (escitalopram) 4 a couple months. not helping, should i switch medication or increase dosage with dr approval, of course?

CBT Therapy: All research agrees that therapy optimizes the effects of medication. For some it allows you to cut dosage or stop earlier. Do discuss this all w/ your Dr (very wise of you!) but I see little reason to think that a higher dose will impact severe GAD w/o Tx. You need to learn skills to avoid, reduce and manage anxiety. Best!
