On 10mg lexapro (escitalopram) daily for gad. my neurologist said i could take two pills (10mg each) on days sure to be stressful. does that make sense?

No: Antidepressants do not work on an as needed basis. You should discuss the option of a 20 mg daily dose with your neurologist..

Lexapro (escitalopram): I agree since it is a low dose, as long as u can tolerate the increase.
