A member asked:
Have ocd and took lexapro (escitalopram) for a total of 7 weeks- 3 wks @5mg and 4 wks @10mg. stopped due to no improvement. should i have given it more time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You were not on an adequate trial. Possibly you would have done better at 20mg per day or even at an off-label dose of 30mg per day.
