I am currently taking Lexapro for anxiety. I was wondering if any of you that are taking Lexapro would mind sharing with me what your dosage amount is. I know the dosage amount varies from person to person and depends on certain factors. I was just wondering what the amount was that everyone was taking. I am 20 mg but still experiencing some symtoms related to my anxiety. I am defiently going to talk to my doctor about this but was just curious about everyone else. I did purchase a book that is great so far in hopes to help me to function better with my social anxiety. The book is called "Living Fully with Shyness and Social Anxiety" By: Erika B. Hilliard incase anyone wants to read it. It has been very helpful so far!

Hi! I can't help you with the lexapro dosage because I have never taken it. I did want to thank you for telling us about the book. If you think it's helpful & want others to read it too, please add it to the self help book thread in our *coping tips & tricks* folder below. That would be great! Good luck. (((hugs))) jan

The highest I have gone on the Lexapro is 10 mg, and it didn't help my anxiety.
