A member asked:
So ridiculous, but i can't remember if i took my 20mg lexapro. will i have withdrawal symptoms from missing 1 dose? i've never missed a day before.

No: You should not notice significant symptoms from missing one dose. Consider making up the dose if you are able to be sure you did not take it. Not ridiculous, simply human.
