Begin with the prescribed 5 mg dose once daily. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response to treatment. Take Lexapro with or without food.
Adjusting Your Dose
Dosage adjustments should only be made under your doctor’s guidance. They may gradually increase your dose, but only in increments recommended by them, typically not exceeding 20mg daily. Never alter your dose independently. Always follow your doctor’s precise instructions.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Maintain consistent daily intake for optimal results.
