Can lowering lexapro dose from 20 to 10 milligrams help with unwanted weight gain, fatigue, and inability to orgasm and will i have withdrawl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible Benefit: If you are experiencing these symptoms as side effects from the use of Lexapro, lowering the dose may be helpful. However, keep in mind that the lower dose may not be as helpful for the reasons why you starting taking the medicine. It is best to not suddenly cut the dose in half, but to set up a gradual schedule for reducing the dose. You will want to talk about this issues with your provider.
