A member asked:
Will lexepro side effects resurface when i increase dosage, as directed by my pcp?

May be : If you think increasing the dosage will give you more benefits , then it's worth it. Side effects are more prominent the first few weeks, usually not very serious . Titrate up slowly with your doctor's supervision, don't do it by yourself. Your doctor may prefer to add another medication rather than increase your lexapro (escitalopram).

Probably not: There ate few side effects to this med and if you tolerate it well a higher dose should be fine!

See below: Possibly. But... Most people tolerate Lexapro (escitalopram) without much problem. It is depends on the dose Lexapro (escitalopram) is increased to.
